The recent tweet by NFL Notifications’ official Twitter account stated, “If Bills, Chiefs or Browns offered money close to the Titans or Patriots, he would be signed today.

Hopkins isn’t “thrilled” to have Mac Jones or Tannehill throwing him passes in 2023, but he leans toward the patriots if those remain the only two options.

As per Hopkins, by the age of 37, he’ll call it off from the league. However, still, there are 6 glory-filled years for the WR, considering he’s 31 at present. Moreover, reacting to his tweet Pat McAfee said about Hopkins, “When defenses know that this dude is the guy to cover he is somehow figured out a way to catch balls all over the field is he a deep threat.” Clearly one of the reasons why franchises want Hopkins in their camp.
