If he's collecting that from the Cards, he may not care nearly as much about what he's taxing his next team. That money is coming in regardless. |

Kelce and DHop are two of the best chain movers to ever play the game. Our 3rd down conversion % would be downright absurd.
Toney's celing is ridiculously high. I dont think ppl understand how good he can be. MVS and Mahomes are sure to have better chemistry this year and hit on more of those downfield throws. I think that offense could shatter records. |

As the Chiefs roster is right now, I would completely agree but -
Adding DeAndre Hopkins would increase the rostered WRs on the team. Who and where do you cut? Adding DeAndre Hopkins is going to reduce the playing time for other WRs including MVS. Where can you get the most Cap space by a trade from the WRs? According to overthecap.com, the Chiefs could get a $9M cap saving by trading MVS post June 1. I really don't know if a team would trade for MVS though and pay the $9M for the season. I like MVS and think he adds value to the Chiefs. I would love to add DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs WR group. I really don't think that the Chiefs will trade MVS, but if they should sign Hopkins and younger WRs develop, it might be possible. |

I am trying to add a reason why Veach wouldn't. I don't know much about Hopkins. Is he a dick/cancer? That would be "A" reason.
Sure he puts up good numbers, but that 6 game suspension for performance enhancing drugs would be a red flag for me. Also, the Cardinals willing to take a $22.6 million dead cap hit is also unnerving. |

He'll be 31 at the start of the season. We have next to nothing in the piggy bank. Even if he came here on the cheap chasing a ring or trying for a long-term contract, how much would he be worth NEXT year and the following years? We also have 12 WRs on the roster today. Just for grins, let's see what those guys have to offer.
In short, thanks but no thanks. |

Well then damn, they should have taken a fourth or even a third next year from us for Hop if they were going to fully eat the contract. I understand them not wanting to and trying to hold out for a better way, but it would have given them more draft capital especially if they were planning on tanking the entire time anyway.

To add to this during his career Hopkins has made 111 million dollars without including any endorsements.

Sign him to 2 real years and a void year for a third year and let’s max out the offense while we are still in the “Kelce prime window”
