The Kansas City Chiefs are sitting at 6-0 and made a splashy move on Wednesday. The fanbase woke up to thrilling news as the team traded for receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

The Chiefs sent a conditional fifth-round pick to Tennessee that can go up to a fourth-round pick. With the abundance of injuries that Kansas City has faced at receiver, the move was needed.

While the trade caught many people by surprise, Hopkins hinted at the move on social media a couple of days ago.
