DeAndre Hopkins seems to be the latest veteran wide receiver.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Chiefs and Titans are finalizing a trade that would send Hopkins to Kansas City. At this time, there is no word on how much compensation will be returned to the state of Tennessee.
The Chiefs have long been looked at as a potential landing spot for the veteran wideout ahead of the trade market, having lost Hollywood Brown and Laci Rice to long-term injuries this season. Hopkins has been rumored to be a receiver in the past, and this move gives Patrick Mahomes an experienced target as the team looks to win its third consecutive Super Bowl.
Hopkins has 15 catches for 173 yards and one touchdown for the Titans this season, but last year he had 75 catches and eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the seventh time in his career.
Updated at 7:07 a.m. ET: NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reports that the Titans will receive a fourth-round pick and a fifth-round pick.
