“We ain’t tryna see that sh*t” – Social media reacts to DeAndre Hopkins possibly pairing up with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City

The offseason is heating up with all the juicy news about players being traded from one team to another. Teams are looking to bolster their squads with the best players they can pick up in the draft. DeAndre Hopkins is one such player who is a hot commodity right now after being released from the Arizona Cardinals. The wide receiver, recognized as one of the best in his position, is on the hunt for a new team for the upcoming season. Recently, ESPN Fantasy Sports revealed that Hokins might end up playing alongside Patrick Mahomes for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hopkins had an underwhelming season last term where he registered 717 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns in 9 games. The Cardinals ended the season with a miserable 4-13 record . Hopkins was released last week and is free to negotiate with any team. This has definitely put other teams on high alert, as the 5-time Pro Bowl receiver is now a free agent. Rumors are floating around as to where he will end up eventually, with names like the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, and Baltimore Ravens.

There are even rumors that he might even return to the Houston Texans after he posted a cryptic message on his Instagram handle. However, a recent claim from ESPN Fantasy Sports Liz Loza suggests that Hopkins could eventually end up playing for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 30-year-old wideout has all the necessary tools in his locker to do well on any team he joins. However, linking up with probably the NFL’s best quarterback, Patrick Mahomes will be a dream partnership.

There are a few more teams chasing the three-time All-Pro receiver, but landing him on their team will cost them a pretty penny. That’s why some teams have already pulled out of the race to sign the South Carolina native. His discipline record in the last season is also an issue for teams going for the WR. A fan claimed that Hopkins allegedly faked a knee injury to sit out two games during the regular season even though he was completely fine.

How the NFL Twitter reacted to DeAndre Hopkins moving to Kansas City Chiefs

The news about DeAndre Hopkins possibly moving to the Kansas City Chiefs has set Twitter ablaze. NFL fans think a pair of Mahomes and Hopkins will dominate the AFC West again after they ended the 2022 season with a 14-3 record. However, this claim from ESPN Fantasy Sports has met with severe criticism from fans from all corners.

Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:

Some even suggested possible destinations like the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys for Hopkins to move. The Cowboys could be a juicy move for the WR as he would link up with CeeDee Lamb.

Lastly, no matter where DeAndre Hopkins ends up playing next season he will give it his best. Moreover, he would want to forget about the dreadful last season and start strongly, and joining a new team might freshen things up for him.
