Report: Only two teams have talked with DeAndre Hopkins to sign him
It seems like a matter of time to see DeAndre Hopkins practicing with a new squad. The Cardinals decided to move on from him, so the receiver will play for his third NFL team this year.
According to reports, Hopkins wants a huge deal to sign with any squad. It will be tough for him to find a club willing to offer him a lucrative contract due to the multiple injuries he has had recently.
Before Arizona released him, their intention was to trade the wide receiver. However, there were no teams interested as they knew that the Cardinals would eventually cut Hopkins in order to avoid paying him almost $20 million in cash he was due this year.
Now, Hopkins is free to choose his next landing spot. It has been reported that he has considered to join the Cleveland Browns and reunite with Deshaun Watson, but it seems like only two franchises have reached him to see if there’s any possibility to add him.
According to Sports Illustrated, only the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs have had “substantive talks” with DeAndre Hopkins this offseason. However, their cap space could be a problem as the wide receiver wants a lucrative contract.
