Chiefs Finalizing Trade for WR DeAndre Hopkins from Titans for Conditional Fifth-Round Pick

Oct 23, 2024, 11:38 AM

The Tennessee Titans are finalizing a deal to trade wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Kansas City Chiefs, according to multiple reports. The trade would send Hopkins to the Chiefs in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-round pick, potentially based on playing time and team performance. The Titans are expected to pick up approximately half of Hopkins' remaining salary. The move aims to bolster the Chiefs' receiving corps, which has been depleted by injuries to receivers Hollywood Brown, Rashee Rice, and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Hopkins, who was previously considered by the Chiefs but was too costly at the time, is anticipated to become a key target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes as the team strengthens its offense. The Chiefs, aiming for a third consecutive Super Bowl title, are working with the Titans to finalize the transaction.
