Insider Shares Key Update On Patriots-DeAndre Hopkins Rumblings

The New England Patriots showed great interest in DeAndre Hopkins and the wide receiver really likes their organization, leading us to the latest update on his case. Hopkins left the Arizona Cardinals and is free to pick his next home. He visited the Patriots and also visited the Tennessee Titans. The star WR has been receiving some cool offers lately, but has yet to ink a deal.

Dianna Russini from ESPN was among the first to discuss Hopkins’ options. According to Russini, the WR won’t make a decision right away.

“His sales job continues trying to get more teams interested at this point, because right now, we know that there are only two teams that have had DeAndre Hopkins come to their facility,” Russini said on “NFL Live” on Thursday, June 22.

“I was told by sources close to the situation that Hopkins is going over some of the offers from both of those teams, the Titans and the Patriots. He’s mulling over and trying to come up with a decision with what he wants to do.”

It seems like Hopkins will choose between the Patriots and Tennessee. It’s a big decision and both teams have a lot to offer. New England doesn’t have a star quarterback, but Hopkins can definitely win games without one.

“I was told to be very patient here,” Russini added. “This isn’t something that’s going to go down in the next 24 or 48 hours. It’s going to take some time for DeAndre Hopkins to come up with his final decision of where he wants to play.”

Patriots fans get promising update on Hopkins

Hopkins will take his time to make a decision. He is a veteran who doesn’t need much time to adjust to a new team. Adam Schefter from ESPN says that players like Hopkins never rush their decision-making process.

“It’s been a flat market. It doesn’t sound like he’s in any rush to [sign] a deal,” Schefter said. “You don’t have to sign in the middle of June when you can wait until right before training camp.

“For all we know, some team suffers an injury, some team loses a receiver, the dynamics change and shift, and there could be more leverage at some point in time for DeAndre Hopkins.

“So he can listen to Tennessee, he can listen to New England, he can see what they’re offering, but there’s no rush. He can wait until a firmer offer from another team materializes. Doesn’t sound like he’s in a rush to do anything right now.”
