One Team Making Aggressive Push for DeAndre Hopkins
The battle to secure the signature of former Arizona Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins has raged for over a month now since the All-Pro pass catcher hit free agency.
There's been plenty of speculation about where Hopkins will suit up for 2023. The receiver served a six-game suspension in 2022 before coming back and flashing the talent he still has, despite being on the wrong side of 30.
Hopkins' $19.45 million salary was too much for any team to trade for, and now the receiver sits on the open market with a few weeks remaining until training camp.
The Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots have been the only teams to officially have Hopkins on visits thus far, though other teams have reportedly kept close watch on his situation.
ESPN's Mike Reiss reported the following update on his outlook:
"The Tennessee Titans and Patriots have made offers, the Titans have been more aggressive to this point and Hopkins hasn’t been in a rush to sign. One reason for Hopkins to wait a bit longer is to leave open the possibility of another team entering the mix, potentially increasing his market," wrote Reiss.
"If it remains between the Titans and Patriots, one question Hopkins might have to ask himself is which team gives him a better chance to cash in on incentives and maximize his earnings. Given his proven production in Bill O’Brien’s offense from their time together with the Houston Texans, perhaps that would give New England an edge."
The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills have also kept interest from a distance.
