After months of trade speculation, the Arizona Cardinals outright released wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on Friday. Heading into his 11th season in the league, the All-Pro wideout is now a free agent and will be in high demand for a team needing a veteran receiver to complete their offense.
As a guest on a recent episode of the podcast, Hopkins cited a stable front office, a competitive quarterback, and a strong defense as wishlist traits of whatever franchise he lands next. Now he gets to pick and choose where he'll suit up in 2023.
Below, we'll go over a few potential landing spots for Hopkins following his release.
With the contract saga with quarterback Lamar Jackson settled and in the rearview, the organization could make a serious move by providing him a weapon like Hopkins. The veteran wideout would join a loaded offense with the likes of Jackson, Odell Beckham Jr., JK Dobbins, Mark Andrews, and rookie Zay Flowers, making the Ravens a serious Super Bowl contender.
More to come.
