REPORT: Clear Favorite Emerges For DeAndre Hopkins Blockbuster Trade

A new betting favorite has emerged in the sweepstakes for Arizona Cardinals’ star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

The soon-to-be 31-year-old Hopkins has been the subject of trade rumors since the end of the Cardinals’ 2022 season. But fast forward a month after the NFL Draft, and the perennial Pro Bowler remains a member of Arizona’s roster.

Sources: #AZCardinals plan to try and trade All-Pro WR DeAndre Hopkins this offseason. DHop has 2 yrs and $34.36M left on his contract and is likely to seek a new deal. Owner Michael Bidwill plans to express this to GM candidates.

But the start of the 2023 season is still over three months away, and Arizona GM Monti Ossenfort has plenty of time to make a move if he wants to go that route. And there certainly won’t be a shortage of teams interested in the five-time Pro Bowler.

Bookies.com recently listed new betting odds for Hopkins’ 2023 team, and the Cardinals remain the favorites at +200. In regards to a new team, the Kansas City Chiefs have the best odds of landing the All-Pro wideout at +300.

The Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears share the next highest odds at +550, followed by the Detroit Lions (+750) and New England Patriots (+1200).

Kansas City lost its top wide receiver of 2022, JuJu Smith-Schuster, to the New England Patriots in free agency. Speedster Mecole Hardman, part of both Super Bowl winning teams in Kansas City, left for the New York Jets.

So there is a need for extra help at receiver, and Hopkins would unquestionably be a great fit in the Chiefs’ high-powered offense. Whether or not Kansas City is keen on actually making a move for Hopkins is another story, though.

Despite being limited to nine games last season, Hopkins finished the year with 64 catches for 717 yards and three touchdowns.
