    Chiefs blockbuster trade proposal would land five-time Pro Bowler

    The Kansas City Chiefs seem to be well on their way to fighting for another Super Bowl.

    Kansas City has won each of the last two Super Bowls and currently is 5-0 on the season. The Chiefs had their bye week last week but will return to the field on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers in a Super Bowl rematch.

    It seems like no matter what happens, the Chiefs find a way to win games. Kansas City has been dealing with a plethora of injuries in the receiver room, and yet it still hasn't suffered a loss yet this season.

    If the Chiefs can land another playmaker ahead of the National Football League trade deadline, that could take the team to an even higher level. ESPN's Bill Barnwell put together an intriguing hypothetical trade proposal that would land Tennessee Titans star receiver DeAndre Hopkins in Kansas City.

    "Titans get: 2025 fifth-round pick," Barnwell said. "Chiefs get: (wide receiver) DeAndre Hopkins. While Patrick Mahomes might believe his team is set at wide receiver, the Chiefs need a rental. They have used high draft picks on Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy over the past two years, and while Rice is expected to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, those two should be the starting wide receivers in 2025...

    "They have played Tyler Boyd and 2022 first-round pick Treylon Burks ahead of Hopkins this season, and moving the veteran would give Burks a full season to prove whether he's part of Tennessee's future. This might not feel like a massive return for a veteran wideout with Hopkins' history, but he didn't have a huge free agent market two offseasons ago, is older now, is battling a knee issue, and is owed meaningful money over the remainder of the year. He wouldn't have a huge market, but the Chiefs feel like the correct fit and would benefit from his strengths."

    Hopkins may not be what he once was, but he would give the Chiefs an important upgrade. If this deal is realistic, Kansas City should give the Titans a call now.
