DeAndre Hopkins’ search for a new team reportedly will include a trip to New England.
The Patriots are set to host the free agent wide receiver for a visit next week, according to a report Friday from NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. Hopkins also has a visit scheduled with the Tennessee Titans this Sunday.
Hopkins, who was released by the Arizona Cardinals last month, is free to sign with any team. The 31-year-old would fill a need for the Patriots, who have lacked a Pro Bowl-caliber No. 1 receiver for the last several seasons and, unlike some rumored suitors, should have enough salary cap space to sign Hopkins if the sides can reach an agreement.
