He’s not the player he was but will command some attention from defenses and may open things up for Worthy. I saw a funny tweet: The Chiefs went from being a team that will probably win the Super Bowl to a team that will probably win the Super Bowl. They have him for two years though if I am understanding his contract correctly. So a conditional 4th/5th for two years at around 3 million a year seems pretty reasonable. Andy Reid has taken lots of players and maximized what they do well. Hopkins will be no different. 1 Quote

I think he's been on the trading block the last couple of weeks and that the Titans were protecting their asset. It’s weird there wasn’t more interest for him…I mean I could totally buy the chiefs front office being much better than the rest of the league but the offer seemed pretty low ball so I doubt anyone else was really interested 7 minutes ago, MikePJ76 said: They have him for two years though if I am understanding his contract correctly.

Is it 3 mil a year? I think the titans payed him some this season and the chiefs are only eating part of his contract this year. I’d assume next year would be more than 3 mil but could be wrong Quote
T.E. Posted October 23 Posted October 23 He probably look like a new man once he gets there, but the Bills defense can still neutralize him on a good day. Should be an interesting second half of the season. Quote

I’d assume next year would be more than 3 mil but could be wrong The Bills have to pay Cooper only $1 million or so, and even if the Chiefs get TN to eat some of the salary, they're still going to have pay a portion of the remaining $8 million that will be larger than what the Bills are paying Cooper (significantly so, probably).

wjag Posted October 23 Posted October 23 Whether he lost a step or not doesn't matter. With his sure hands and Patty's ability to extend plays, he will get open. This is a good move for him and the Chiefs. It was so obvious watching the game that he was being traded. They were making sure he did not get hurt. You could see it in his sideline posture. They must have told him on the sidelines that he was done as a Titan. 4 Quote
SoonerBillsFan Posted October 23 Posted October 23 The only thing we need to do is game plan will against KC. Find a way to attack their Defense and crush mahomes. Quote
wjag Posted October 23 Posted October 23 Meet the KC Chief's newest 3rd down security blanket. Use to be Kelce, now it will be DHop Quote

Carmel Corn Posted October 23 Posted October 23 This was so predictable…..just like having a minimum of 5 shots of Taylor during a Chiefs game. DHOP will do fine in a KC offense and probably win a championship. Quote

Yeah, I’m not criticizing the move or saying Hopkins is washed. I just don’t think it does all that much, although it arguably makes an already strong team a little bit stronger. Quote
Logic Posted October 23 Posted October 23 In the D-Hop thread yesterday I said "watch him become a Kansas City chief for laughably small trade compensation", and here we are. When I heard the news, I rolled my eyes a bit, but it honestly didn't irk me too much. The Chiefs are ALREADY undefeated. They're ALREADY the team to beat. Them adding the wide receiver that our corners just showed they can capably cover didn't bother me as much as I imagined it might. 1 Quote

We might feel differently if/when Hopkins looks close to how he did in Houston. I hope it's not coming....but we'll see Quote

mikemac2001 Posted October 23 Posted October 23 Looks like they tried for cupp but wouldn’t give up a high pick and went to Hopkins instead 1 Quote

BillsFan2313 Posted October 23 Posted October 23 1 hour ago, Buffalo4Life01 said: For anyone saying he is washed or that the offseason MCL injury is a major factor now, I don't buy that for one second. The Chiefs have one of the best front office's in the entire NFL right now. If they are trading for D Hop, it's only because they've done a thorough investigation and they believe without a doubt he is 100% healthy and will help them win a 3rd straight Super Bowl. Even if he has lost a step, good luck covering him in the red zone where the Chiefs have had some issues so far this season. He absolutely helps to solve that problem. Right now KC has a very good to elite defense, very good to great special teams, the best front office/coaching staff in the NFL, and the best QB in the game. Throw in DHop and if their 7-0 record didn't give you reason to pause before, it certainly should now. If I'm Buffalo I'm seriously considering looking for help at safety and on the D.line if I seriously believe the team can win it all this season. They traded a 2nd for Toney... 1 1 1 1 Quote
Bills!Win! Posted October 23 Posted October 23 Just trying to figure out how the chiefs can get all of these players yet we are always up against the cap Quote
