The favorite to land the wide receiver in a trade?
The site puts the Kansas City Chiefs at +300, giving the team an implied probability of 25% to be Hopkins' next team.

The Arizona Republic's Kent Somers recently wrote that trading Hopkins was an option the Cardinals must explore.
"A new general manager could decide to move on from Hopkins in the hope of acquiring multiple draft picks and/or players in return. And Hopkins could drive the trade talks, especially if he doesn’t feel like being part of a rebuilding project at 31," Somers wrote.
He continued: "Trading Hopkins leaves a void at wide receiver, unless you’re confident the Cardinals can re-sign Marquise Brown and unless you have faith that Brown and Rondale Moore can stay healthy in 2023."
What Arizona chooses to do (or not do) with the wide receiver will be another very important storyline in the team's already pivotal offseason.
