DeAndre Hopkins is being traded as a Super Bowl contender: report

The Tennessee Titans are reportedly making a trade to send a wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a conditional fourth-round draft pick, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed ESPN‘S Adam Schefter Wednesday morning (October 23rd).

“It’s happening: Titans and Chiefs are working to finalize a trade that would send WR DeAndre Hopkins to Kansas City, league sources tell ESPN,” Schefter wrote on his X account.

The 32-year-old Hopkins, once considered one of the NFL’s best receivers, is in the final year of a two-year contract he signed in the 2023 offseason. The Chiefs have a need at the wide receiver position since they lost marquise ‘Hollywood‘ Brown to a shoulder injury in the preseason, Rashee Rice to a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 and JuJu Smith-Schuster due to a hamstring injury in Week 7 that has already kept him out of action for Sunday’s (Oct. 27) game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Hopkins recorded 15 receptions for 173 yards and a touchdown during his final six games with the last-place Titans in 2024. The former Clemson star caught 75 receptions for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023.

The Chiefs are currently undefeated in their first six games despite needing them at the wide receiver position. Kansas City is aiming for a third-place finish as Super Bowl champions, having won in each of the last two seasons and three of the last five years.
