The New England Patriots need a playmaking receiver. DeAndre Hopkins needs a new team.
It makes sense that the two sides will reportedly meet next week, via Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Hopkins has already visited the Tennessee Titans and there have been reports that he might be interested in going back to the Houston Texans.
Other teams that could use Hopkins like the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills might not have the salary-cap space to entertain the last-minute free agent, who was cut by the Arizona Cardinals in late May.
