DeAndre Hopkins Eyeing Contender, Dalvin Cook Open to Teaming Up With Star Receiver

Could the veteran stars end up on the same roster?

CINCINNATI — If wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is considered the best free agent left on the market, veteran running back Dalvin Cook isn't far behind. 

The former Vikings star was released earlier this month and although he hasn't signed with a team, he certainly sounds open to the idea of playing with Hopkins.

“If we end up on the same roster, that would be something epic for the NFL,” Cook said on The Adam Schefter Podcast. "I know his mindset, and I done play against D-Hop a numerous amount of times ... I want to go win. Like I said, the money gonna come and that's going to happen. But like as far as going to lift that [Vince Lombardi] Trophy up, he got the same mindset as me."

Hopkins visited the Titans and Patriots last week, but is still hoping to join a true contender. 

Would the veteran duo be willing to take less money to join forces? 

If so, teams like the Chiefs and Bills could make a push for both stars. It could also make the Bengals' path in the AFC that much more challenging if they signed with a legitimate Super Bowl contender. 

The Jets and Browns are two other teams that could make a push for Cook, Hopkins or both former Pro Bowlers.
