Bidding War Between Bills And Chiefs?
The competition for free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has intensified between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills, according to the latest update from NFL insider Dov Kleiman. In a tweet, Kleiman describes the situation as an “Arms Race” between the two teams, suggesting a heated battle to secure Hopkins’ services.

The Chiefs and Bills are both renowned for their high-powered offenses and are eager to bolster their receiving corps with Hopkins’ exceptional talents. As the teams vie for his signature, it will be intriguing to see which organization comes out on top in this fierce pursuit.
Both of these teams would need to get creative with their salary cap to offer a contract that Hopkins deems acceptable. After all, veteran free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. signed with the Baltimore Ravens on a one-year, $15 million contract in the offseason. Hopkins would likely demand significantly more than that.
Don’t Sleep On The Jets
Hopkins to New York makes sense, doesn’t it? The Jets already moved their chips to the center of the table with a “win now” mentality after acquiring veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers. Pairing him with a bonafide No. 1 receiving option is more than a sensible move.
People saying #Jets can't or won't pay DeAndre Hopkins forget we just about paid Odell Beckham Jr, as well we could save $10.5M cutting Corey Davis
It's been clear #Jets are in win now mode. Going for it all this season

It makes sense for Hopkins as well, who wants to play for a contender with a proven quarterback feeding him the ball. Like the aforementioned teams, New York will need to work their salary cap to make that happen, but it’s certainly in the realm of possibilities.
