Mahomes on a mission: Can Patrick recruit DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs?
DeAndre Hopkins, the former star wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, recently found himself on the free-agent market after being released by the team. The unexpected move left many fans surprised, but the Cardinals had no choice after failing to find suitable trade partners for Hopkins.
Now that he’s available, teams from around the league are showing keen interest in signing the talented receiver. One team that has been frequently mentioned in connection with Hopkins is the Kansas City Chiefs, and their fans are hopeful that quarterback Patrick Mahomes can help recruit him.
If the Chiefs want to bring Hopkins on board, they’ll likely need to make significant adjustments due to their limited cap space. While Mahomes may be content with his current receiving corps, the opportunity to add a player of Hopkins’ caliber doesn’t come around often.
The addition of Hopkins would undoubtedly take the Chiefs’ offense to new heights, and it will be intriguing to see how the reigning Super Bowl champions navigate this situation.
There are other teams in the mix
However, the Chiefs aren’t the only team in the mix. The Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, and Dallas Cowboys are also potential suitors for Hopkins. All these teams recognize his exceptional talent as a receiver and understand that pairing him with an elite quarterback would bring out his best performance. Hopkins himself has expressed interest in playing alongside quarterbacks like Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, and Patrick Mahomes.
As a free agent, Hopkins now has the freedom to choose his own destination, allowing him to make the best decision for himself. With his desire to win a Super Bowl, joining a contender would make a lot of sense.
At this point, there is no clear favorite team to sign Hopkins, but that could change in the coming days. Hopkins is eager to settle his future soon so that he can focus on preparing for the upcoming season. The football world eagerly awaits the decision of this highly sought-after receiver.

Kansas State just might add another accomplishment to a season that ended without a College Football Playoffs berth.
With Colorado’s 36-14 loss to BYU in the Alamo Bowl, the Wildcats can now at least make a case for being the No. 4 team in the Big 12. That would put them ahead of coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes.
Colorado entered the postseason with the fourth spot behind Arizona State, BYU and Iowa State. The Wildcats ended their season with a 44-41, comeback victory against Rutgers in the Rate Bowl. Iowa State also held off the Miami Hurricanes in the Pop-Tarts Bowl.
Baylor is awaiting its matchup with LSU in the Texas Bowl while TCU crushed Lafayette in the New Mexico Bowl and Texas Tech fell to Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl.
The Bears, Horned Frogs and Wildcats could all finish with four losses. K-State might get the edge because of their win against Colorado. The Buffaloes, who were led by quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, defeated Baylor 38-31 in September. As for TCU, two of its losses were to bottom-tier UCF and Houston.
Although the Wildcats lost to Houston, it was their only loss to a team with a losing record. The other defeats were to BYU, Arizona State and Iowa State, all bowl teams. The title of fourth-best is meaningless but it could provide much-needed momentum heading into next season and serve as a recruiting pitch this spring.

Dense fog reduced visibility to less than a quarter mile in parts of central, south central, and southeast Kansas on Saturday morning, December 28, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
Footage taken in Wichita by NWS meteorologist Kevin Darmofal shows his view of “another foggy start” to the day.
A dense fog advisory would remain in effect until 10 am CST, the NWS said.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” the weather service warned. “If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you.” Credit: Kevin Darmofal/NWS Wichita via Storyful
