After falling short in Super Bowl LVIII with the Kansas City Chiefs, DeAndre Hopkins’ future is once again in question. Could the former Texans standout be on the move as he continues.
After falling short in Super Bowl LVIII with the Kansas City Chiefs, trade rumors are once again surrounding former Clemson star DeAndre Hopkins. The veteran wide receiver, who has spent his NFL career chasing a championship, could be on the move yet again as speculation grows about his next destination.
Hopkins’ Journey Since Clemson
Since leaving Clemson, where he established himself as one of the program’s all-time greats, Hopkins has played for multiple teams, including the Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, and most recently, the Chiefs. Despite being one of the league’s most talented receivers, a Super Bowl ring has eluded him, and after Kansas City’s heartbreaking loss, rumors are flying about where he could land next.
Could the Chiefs Move On?
While Hopkins contributed to Kansas City’s playoff run, the Chiefs' offensive struggles throughout the season have sparked debate over their wide receiver corps. With contract considerations and cap space in play, some analysts believe Kansas City could explore trade options for Hopkins rather than keeping him for another season.
If the Chiefs decide to move on from Hopkins, several teams could be in the mix to acquire the former Clemson standout. The Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and even a potential return to the Houston Texans have been floated as possible destinations. All three teams are seeking veteran wide receiver help, and Hopkins’ experience and playmaking ability make him an intriguing target.
As the NFL offseason unfolds, the trade speculation surrounding Hopkins will only intensify. Whether he stays in Kansas City for another run at a ring or lands with a new contender, the former Clemson star’s future remains one of the hottest topics in the league.
