Ex-NFL QB criticizes Patriots for ‘massive missed opportunity' with DeAndre Hopkins

Ex-NFL QB criticizes Patriots for ‘massive missed opportunity' with DeAndre Hopkins originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

DeAndre Hopkins choosing to sign with the Tennessee Titans over the New England Patriots felt like a surprise to a lot of people.

The Patriots not only needed Hopkins given their lack of high-end talent at wide receiver, he already has familiarity with offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien from their Houston Texans days. New England also had loads of salary cap space and the ability to pay Hopkins more than most other teams.
