Bills' DeAndre Hopkins Saga Over, WR Signing with Titans

The Buffalo Bills can now finally put an end to their interest in DeAndre Hopkins.

For the Buffalo Bills, the rumors, gossip and flirting surrounding All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins can finally come to an anticlimactic end.

Hopkins is expected to sign with the Tennessee Titans, per reports Sunday from ESPN. After being a cap-clearing cut by the Arizona Cardinals in May, he visited the Titans in June, though contract talks hit a wall after the two sides failed to strike a deal. But D-Hop is now signing a reported two-year, $26 million deal with up to $32 million in incentives, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

After it had seemed like he could be heading toward an AFC contender like the Bills or Kansas City Chiefs - who appeared set to engage in a bidding war - Hopkins, 31, instead opted for visits with the New England Patriots and Titans, the latter of which has now won the biggest sweepstakes of the offseason.

During Arizona's abysmal 4-13 finish this past season, Hopkins still finished as the team's leader in receiving yards (717) despite missing eight games, six of which came in the first six weeks of the season due to a PED suspension.

After being cut, he would constantly tease Bills Mafia with social media posts or by showing his subtle interest during interviews.

But now, he'll look to provide a spark in a Titans offense that could certainly use a true No. 1 receiver alongside second-year standout Treylon Burks.
