BREAKING NEWS: 5 time All Pro WR 30 year old Deandre Hopkins Released by Cardinals.

[BrehWyatt]

What was his advanced stats after coming off suspension? Does the NFL think he’s done?

He's still a #1, but those days may not last longer than a couple years though he wins on physicality, catching through contact, etc. as opposed to athleticism/speed. Projecting his numbers over a full season, he'd have had like 120 grabs for 1350 yards and like 5-6 TD.

He'd be perfect for a team with a young QB that needs a true #1 but has a promising WR prospect or two that he can show the way (i.e. the Green Bay Packers).

That said, I can't see him going anywhere not named Kansas City. They don't have a true No. 1 WR unless you count Kelce, and KC is assured at least a AFC title game appearance assuming no injury to Mahomes.

 

[BrehWyatt]

KC is the logical place in my opinion. They have a bunch of just average WRs that can’t stay healthy. Golden opportunity

He can show Rashee Rice and Justyn Ross the way to do business while giving that offense a bonafide difference maker beyond Kelce.

Agree. They gotta do some contract restructuring due to KC’s cap situation though, so that’s a big if.

As a cowboys fan and Dallas resident, d-hop needs to stay far away from here before Dak ruins the rest of his career

Nah, even Dak can't fukk this up.

Lamb, Cooks and Nuck?

We will win AT LEAST 9 games .....but for real with that defense, Dak got margin for error and the passing lanes will be wide open.

[satireprod]

I know the Bills have extension/restructure options if they're in on him.

Chiefs do too (Chris Jones, Pat Mahomes,etc)...what a teams cap space is today is not the same as it would be locking up some of their players and freeing up space

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

I hope he lands wherever he wants for however much money he can get possibly get


Dude has had a ROUGH life. He deserves whatever professional and personal happiness comes his way

Wikipedia: "Hopkins was raised by his single mother, Sabrina Greenlee, with whom he has a strong relationship. He credits her for his success. She held two jobs throughout his childhood and worked at an automotive factory.

In July 2002, Greenlee had a boiling concoction of lye and bleach thrown on her by Savannah Grant, age 24. Greenlee had caught her boyfriend having an affair with Grant. The attack resulted in the skin rapidly peeling off her neck, face, and back. Her boyfriend picked her up, placed her in his vehicle, and dropped her off at a nearby gas station. The gas station attendant called 911, and Greenlee was rushed to a hospital and later flown to Augusta, Georgia, where she was placed in a medically induced coma for three weeks and had skin grafts applied to her face. Greenlee suffered burns over 17 percent of her body. Her attacker was charged with assault and battery with intent to kill and received a 20-year sentence. She was incarcerated from 2003 until March 13, 2023. Hopkins' mother was left completely blind as a result of this attack."

Hopkins' father, Harris Steve Hopkins, died in a car accident on I-85 when DeAndre was five months old, leaving his mother to raise him and his three siblings. The November 1992 car accident happened when DeAndre's parents were returning from visiting family in Atlanta. The elder Hopkins' Ford Mustang GTS hydroplaned on the rain-soaked road after making a turn and flipped three times before striking a guardrail on the driver's side. While DeAndre's mother escaped with minor injuries and a concussion, the elder Hopkins succumbed to his injuries eight days later. At the time of his death, Harris Hopkins was 25 years old.[168][169]

Hopkins' uncle on his mother's side, Terry Smith, played wide receiver at Clemson and went undrafted before having a brief professional career with the Indianapolis Colts on their practice squad from 1995–1996. His time in the NFL was marred by knee injuries that ended his career. In 1997, Smith was shot and killed by Atlanta police after forcing his way into his estranged wife's home and stabbing her. Police opened fire after Smith defied multiple orders. Close friends and former teammates said Smith was nonviolent but that his behavior had changed in the months leading up to his death. Smith played for Clemson from 1990-1993 and finished his collegiate career as the all-time leader in catches (162) and receiving yards (2,681). He was named the Tigers' MVP for the 1993 season and was known for his game-winning touchdown in the 1993 Peach Bowl, defeating Kentucky with seconds left.[170][171]

Another uncle on his mother’s side, Russell Smith, died before DeAndre was born, at age 12 in 1985. He died in a car driven by his newly-wed uncle when it flipped while Russell was standing up in the open sunroof. His uncle and other passengers in the car survived.[172]

This nikka get signed to a team and he gonna torch the league thus coming season

Mahomes would be willing to do that solid for the team no problem.

 

[gho3st]

NFL s cold world. Bro is still top 5 receiver in the league. He had two subpar season and they released him… he should go the Kansas city or browns to play with watson

 

[Pete Wrigley]

Mahomes x Kelce x Hopkins

 

[Shadow King]

Chiefs are the best bet if they can make it work salary wise

Ravens almost have too much going on for Lamar to properly use him. Andrews is the #1, now they have OBJ and they are still a run first team.

Chargers is a waste of time. They will never do anything.

Jets would be nice but ARod is weird and you dont wanna be stuck there if he retires suddenly.

Philly would be cool but they dont REALLY need him, their offense is stacked.

Bills would be crazy with him and Diggs but I still like the Chiefs more.

Hopkins would eat before Odell...
