Everything has been quiet on the DeAndre Hopkins front since the veteran wide receiver took a free agency visit with the New England Patriots two weeks ago. Patience is the name of the game, with Hopkins willing to take his time in search for the best possible opportunity.
Will it come in New England? That remains to be seen, but if ESPN reporter Sal Paolantonio is to be believed there is “mutual interest” between the two sides following Hopkins’ visit.
Appearing on Keyshawn, JWill & Max on Tuesday morning, Paolantonio gave a brief update on where things stand with the 31-year-old and his market: two new teams — the Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns — have quietly entered the sweepstakes, but the Patriots still appear to be frontrunners for his services.
