SEPT 29 TUG-OF-WAR? The Titans are off to an 0-3 start, which is triggering another series of DeAndre Hopkins trade rumors. So here’s a beaut … How about an NFC tug-of-war for his services between the Chiefs and the Steelers?
That’s the suggestion here , with those two undefeated contenders in theory entering a bidding war for the faded star wideout. Their logic?
In the case of KC: “Patrick Mahomes has uncharacteristically struggled this season, throwing for five touchdowns and four interceptions. With Travis Kelce fading potentially before our very eyes, adding Hopkins to the team wouldn’t hurt the Titans in the long run if they were going to rebuild anyway. Plus, it gives Hopkins a shot at his first Super Bowl and does right by him.”
In the case of the Steelers : “They might lack that extra punch to put them over the top. … The unit is playing well overall, but they will need some star power to break out at some point.”
The reality of both rosters, if it’s about “neediness”? The Steelers would figure to be more hungry to make such a move.
