The Chiefs completed a trade for Titans receiver DeAndre Hopkins

The Kansas City Chiefs have traded for Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, according to multiple reports.

Hopkins, 32, will help bolster a receiving corp that lost Rushie Rice, Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster to injuries.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Chiefs are sending a fifth-round draft pick that could become a fourth-rounder if Kansas City reaches the Super Bowl and Hopkins plays 60% of the snaps. Tennessee will also pay Hopkins $2.5 million.

Hopkins has 15 catches for 173 yards this season for a Titans team that has won just one game and struggled at quarterback. Hopkins suffered a knee injury in training camp that did not require surgery. He had 75 catches for 1,057 yards last season with Tennessee.

Hopkins is the third wide receiver to be traded in the last eight days. Last week, the Las Vegas Raiders sent Davante Adams to the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns traded Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills. The Los Angeles Rams have also reportedly begun trade talks with the team for former Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp.

The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs have the best record in the NFL at 6-0 but are in the market for a receiver to help quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Brown is not expected to play in the regular season after undergoing shoulder surgery last month for a preseason injury. Rice is also not expected to play the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair the posterolateral corner of his right knee two weeks ago. He was injured during a win against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Smith-Schuster missed Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers with a hamstring injury and has already been ruled out for the Chiefs' Week 8 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

This is the third straight season the Chiefs have made an in-season trade for a wide receiver. During 2022, the Chiefs sent third and sixth round picks to the New York Giants for Kadarius Toney. He is no longer on the roster, although he had a key punt return in the Chiefs' Super Bowl win over the Philadelphia Eagles in February 2023.

Last season, the Chiefs traded a sixth-round pick and a seventh-round pick to the Jets for Mecole Hardman. Hardman left the Chiefs to sign with the Jets as a free agent in the offseason. Hardman caught the game-winning pass in overtime of Super Bowl LVIII and re-signed with the Chiefs this offseason.
