Arizona Cardinals +200 (33.3%)
Kansas City Chiefs +300 (25%)
Carolina Panthers +550 (15.4%)
Chicago Bears +550 (15.4%)

"He's prohibitively expensive for some teams," said Adam Thompson. "Hopkins' cap hit of $30.8 million for 2023 and $26.2M for 2024 is second only to Tyreek Hill among WRs. That will keep some teams away, but not all of them. Early indications were he wantsed to play for a throw-first QB on a competitive team – perhaps a slight dig at Kyler Murray and the Cards.
"Based on rumored internal conversations, the Chiefs and Bills are atop his wish list, which makes sense. Kansas City and Buffalo are now perennial title contenders, and are led by two of the premier playmaking QBs in Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.
"Neither is in a spot to acquire Hopkins without creating a major amount of cap room. It doesn't sound like the Bills are very interested in the oft-disgruntled, drug-suspension-tainted Hopkins."
Will Hopkins end up leaving the desert? Earlier in the offseason it felt inevitable, but a variety of factors could keep him in Arizona, at least for another season.
