Report: Two new sleeper teams are ‘lurking’ DeAndre Hopkins
DeAndre Hopkins is looking for a new team for the 2023 season. The five-time Pro Bowler was released by the Cardinals earlier this year, so now he’s set to play for his third NFL.
According to recent reports, the Patriots and Chiefs are interested in signing Hopkins. However, they could face some new competition as two new teams have entered the race to add the former Houston Texans receiver.
The Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers are now two other potential destinations for Hopkins, per ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio. Those two teams are reportedly ‘lurking’ the former Clemson player in the background to secure his services.
A few weeks ago, Deshaun Watson attempted to recruit Hopkins for the Browns. They previously played together in Houston, where the receiver served as the quarterback’s favorite weapon on the field.
As for the Panthers, it seems that the team’s front office is determined to support Bryce Young in finding success during his rookie season. Hopkins would join Jonathan Mingo, Terrace Marshall, D.J. Chark, and Adam Thielen in the highly talented group of receivers that Carolina currently possesses.
