Per ESPN, the Titans have agreed to trade Hopkins to the Chiefs for a 2025 fifth-round draft pick. The pick moves to the fourth round if the Chiefs make the Super Bowl and Hopkins plays 60% of the snaps.

This season, Hopkins has 15 receptions for 173 yards and one touchdown in six games.

The Chiefs receive much-needed help at receiver with the addition of Hopkins.
Rashee Rice still leads the team in receiving yards (288) despite suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 4.
Tight end Travis Kelce leads the team in receptions with 28. Not counting Rice, the Chief with the second-most catches is Xavier Worthy with 15.
With Hopkins, Patrick Mahomes gets a tall, down-the-field target that can still draw double teams to free up other receivers.
The Chiefs (6-0) are on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders (2-5) in Week 8.
