Not even worried about Kincaid in year 1.

TEs rarely hit the ground running as rookies, and he's behind Knox on the depth chart.

They basically said he's not a TE, they are going to use him as a "big slot" and he's not going to lineup as a traditional TE much at all.

If he's looking to maximize his $$$ over the next 12 months, I agree - he's going somewhere else. If he's looking to max it out over the next 36 months? I think there's a pretty good argument to come to KC for the 2023 season.

You'd think so but.....i think these players see lesser teams and lesser QB's such as the Ravens as just as good of a chance to do the same when the paycheck is bigger.

Write a bigger paycheck and Hopkins will convince himself that he has every bit the same shot to do that with Lamar as he does with Mahomes.

We signed this piece of shit yet?

Well this is a good point. If he wants to go somewhere where he will get a lot of exposure and be the undeniable #1 WR it’s with us. Could really cash in next Spring in that scenario.

Kind of irrelevant to the first point though.

Personally I'd like to sign him because then we get to watch every other fan base go "ah ****in shit" which amuses me.

Yep, hard to win championships when you can't stay healthy

This. Not to mention, if we can land him, the gap between us and everyone else just gets that much wider.

I was mainly responding to the he's behind Knox comment.

Yeah, i think this is as obvious as it could be but....alas, money talks and changes perspectives.

1500 posts to bring him to KC.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

I agree, but every other team is thinking the same way. Hopkins to the Chiefs may be their worst nightmare, so one of those teams will pull out all the stops to prevent it from happening.

They drafted him to be their version of Travis Kelce. We’ll see if that he can be that type of weapon…
