DeAndre Hopkins, a star wide receiver, is being moved from the Tennessee Titans to the Kansas City Chiefs, according to various sources, including ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
According to Schefter and NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the Titans will acquire a late-round selection pick in exchange for Hopkins.
CNN has contacted both the Titans and the Chiefs for comment.
Hopkins, 32, is in his 12th NFL season, his second with the Titans. He has struggled for performance this season due to poor quarterback play, with only 15 receptions, 173 receiving yards, and one score in six games as Tennessee has started 1-5.
Prior to this season, Hopkins had been one of his position’s most successful players since getting picked out of Clemson in 2013.
In 168 NFL games, he had 943 receptions, 12,528 receiving yards, and 76 touchdowns, earning him five Pro Bowl selections and three first-team All-Pro honors.
Hopkins played his first seven seasons with the Houston Texans before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals. He joined with the Titans during the 2023 offseason.
Between 2013 and 2023, Hopkins ranked first in catches, first in first down receptions, first in receiving yards, third in receiving touchdowns, and first in receptions of 25 yards or more during the regular season.
And now he joins the Chiefs to add a star to their injury-ravaged wide receiver group, providing Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes with much-needed offensive help.
Both Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown are long-term injuries for the reigning Super Bowl winners, and while the club is the only unbeaten team in the NFL after seven weeks, Mahomes’ lack of reliable offensive threats is clear.
The quarterback has been depending on an elderly Travis Kelce, rookie Xavier Worthy, Noah Gray, and JuJu Smith-Schuster, so Hopkins would be a nice addition to Kansas City’s attack.
