All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins transferred from Kansas City to Chiefs due to numerous injuries: report

As the Tennessee Titans continue to lose games and the Kansas City Chiefs continue to lose receivers, they have reportedly made a deal that will benefit everyone.

DeAndre Hopkins, the 32-year-old impending free agent, is reportedly being traded to the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champions.

It was a difficult task for Hopkins as he only had 15 receptions for 173 yards and just one touchdown. Ten of those catches and 127 of those yards came in two separate games.

Hopkins has caught one pass in three games this season, including last Sunday for minus-two yards against the Buffalo Bills, who ironically just signed Amari Cooper.

Hopkins is the third veteran receiver to be traded in the last week, joining Cooper and Davante Adams, who rejoined his old pal Aaron Rodgers in New York with the Jets.

Certainly Hopkins is no longer the three-time All-Pro he was in the late 2010s, but Will Levis and Mason Rudolph are significantly hindering his opportunities on the field. Last season, his 75 receptions and 1,057 yards were his lowest full-season totals since 2016.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs have all lost Hollywood Brown, Rashee Rice and Justin Watson this season. Even JuJu Smith-Schuster injured his hamstring last weekend against the San Francisco 49ers.

Despite all of this, Kansas City is still 6-0 and just won its Super Bowl rematch against the San Francisco 49ers.

While Hopkins may not be his old self, it's hard to imagine Patrick Mahomes not helping him at all.

The Titans are reportedly getting a conditional fourth-round pick, which isn't a bad return for an aging receiver they've struggled to bring back.

Mahomes may not be able to save Hopkins from not making a Pro Bowl for the fourth straight year, but the potential, combined with the fact that he is Mahomes' No. 1 target, is very favorable.
