Chargers News: DeAndre Hopkins Lists LA Among Top 2 Preferred Destinations

The three-time All-Pro would love to play alongside Justin Herbert

In a stunning twist of events, the Arizona Cardinals made the surprising decision to release the talented All-Pro wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins. The Cardinals failed to find a suitable trade partner, and he will now enter free agency. Hopkins finds himself in the unique position of being able to choose his next team, and there are plenty of teams who would love his talents. 

The 30-year-old has garnered significant interest from numerous teams, one of them being your Los Angeles Chargers, who are reportedly one of his preferred destinations, according to insider John Gambadoro.

Although plagued by injuries and a violation of the league's PED policy, Hopkins is still considered a top receiver. Over the past two seasons, he has been limited to just 19 games. However, his track record as a five-time Pro Bowler speaks for itself. Adding him to the Chargers' wide receiver room would undoubtedly be a game-changer. The combination of Hopkins alongside Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, and Quentin Johnston would form a formidable receiving corps that opponents' secondaries would be frightened of. 

Whether the Bolts can afford him is a different story, and although it would be a great addition, the receiver's room is a little filled. Nonetheless, the former first-round pick's presence would significantly boost the team's offensive capabilities, potentially making them the favorites in their division and beyond. 

Fans would be ecstatic if the team could find a way to add the talented wide receiver. All we can do now is sit and wait to see what the Chargers and Hopkins do.
