The trade, which would bring Hopkins from the Titans to Super Bowl champions, Kansas City Chiefs, could be finalized soon, as reported by ESPN on Wednesday morning. In return, the Titans now seem to be getting a conditional 4th round pick.
In 6 games Hopkins has with Tennessee based so far, he has recorded 15 catches for 173 yards along with one touchdown. He is finishing the last season of his contract. He signed a two-year contract worth $26.2 million dollars. Out of 12 NFL seasons and 75 receiving yards for the Titans, Hopkin, had 1057 yards and 7 TD’s in his previous season.
The Chiefs admittedly required extra firepower at the wide receiver position after Rashee Rice got a knee injury in Week 4 of the season and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown lost his shoulder during the preseason. JuJu Smith resigned on a hamstring injury as well last week.
