On Friday afternoon, the Arizona Cardinals launched vast receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The membership introduced the information on its official Twitter account.
The transaction is notable for the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs, who’ve been related to the 30-year-old vast receiver all through the offseason. Early in April, we noticed the preliminary rumblings that Hopkins could possibly be launched — which might be the one method the Chiefs may feasibly signal the vast receiver.
It was well-known that the Cardinals have been purchasing the five-time All-Professional with excessive hopes for a commerce, however the $19.45 million 2023 wage that may have include a commerce prevented groups from committing to a deal. Now, all bets are off, and the Chiefs ought to be again within the combine.
Take into accout: although Kansas Metropolis may discover itself again within the combine, it might nonetheless have to liberate some cap area. At Arrowhead Pleasure, we estimate the Chiefs have about $1.1 million in 2023 cap area, and that quantity will drop as soon as vast receiver Rashee Rice indicators his rookie deal. However that could possibly be alleviated by a contract extension for defensive deal with Chris Jones or a restructure/adjustment for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Hopkins himself has expressed curiosity in enjoying with Mahomes, however he additionally has named Buffalo Payments quarterback Josh Allen, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.
Hopkins Watch is again on. Keep tuned.
