The New England Patriots have been rumored to be in the sweepstakes for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins throughout the offseason.
Even though things are quiet now, former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman sees the five-time All-Pro veteran eventually signing with the Patriots.
Hopkins visited both the Tennessee Titans and the Patriots at the beginning of the month. Now, he seems to be in no rush to make a decision. The 31-year-old caught 64 passes for 717 yards and three touchdowns last season.
New England also created a little extra salary cap space by restructuring the contracts of wide receiver Devante Parker and linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley over the course of this week.
