good. have at it. diva hopkins would fit right in there.

[njbuff]

I kinda expected something like this to happen.

 

What Hopkins actually has left in the tank is anyone’s guess.

[LEBills]

Cooper is better, younger and cheaper

[YoloinOhio]

Oh no now they might win the SB

[YoloinOhio]

id rather have Dustin Hopkins 

[Cheektowaga Chad]

How much left does Hopkins actually have left?

 

Seems more in line with juju Smith now a days on the high end

 

Or maybe he is the equivalent of the Chiefs signing Josh Gordon a few seasons ago and everyone seemed to think they were about to light the NFL on fire

He’s ancient, like when Julio went to the Eagles

Death, Taxes and Chiefs or Ravens

Buccaneers 1st, but true.

 

I would much rather have the quicker and faster Cooper. Hopkins will fit perfectly into that role they’ve had Sammy Watkins and JuJu. But they still need Worthy to step up. This could open up Worthy to make more plays.

I guess having -2 yards last week was the last straw

[MikePJ76]

Trading a fifth for him.

16 catches for 173 for season….oof.  Long time since that playoff game against us

[YoloinOhio]

Like with cooper, the QB they have both played with this year had a lot to do with their numbers. Chiefs were desperate for WR help and didn’t lock in either Adams or cooper. Hopkins has been a bit of a Bills killer over the years but I’d rather they got him at this point in his career than either of the other two. I also feel like he’s always hurt

Apparently they have 4 million in cap space and Hopkins cost 3 million ish for the rest of the season

NFL radio says done deal

It doesn't really matter. KC would win the Superbowl with me at WR. They plug and play like the Patriots used to and keep on going. Frustrating 

[GunnerBill]

I said when we discussed this a few weeks back that I think Hopkins on film looks pretty done and the name I gave of a guy I'd rather pursue was Amari Cooper FWIW. I'm not surprised that this is happening. The Chiefs are desperate for outside receiver help and he was the last vet on the market really. I think they will try and use him more as an intermediate target because at the moment their offense is dump off to Kelce or a back or deep shot to Worthy. Hopkins can still give them something inbetween I think. But he isn't the guy he was. I don't think he offers a ton now down the field.

Hopkins is washed at this point. Just doesn’t seem like he has any explosiveness remaining. And he didn’t have much in the first place. 

[Magox]

Hopkins most certainly is not what he once was but I don't believe he is anywhere near what his numbers indicate.   He steps in to a depleted KC WR room and within the next 10 days he instantly becomes a big WR #1 upgrade for the rest of the year.    When coverage is tight and he has a 1 on 1 he'll get the ball thrown his way.   Good pickup for the Chiefs.
