The New England Patriots lost out in the great DeAndre Hopkins race of 2023, with the former All-Pro receiver agreeing to a two-year deal with the Tennessee Titans.
That doesn’t mean they’re out of the running to add an offensive playmaker prior to the start of training camp.
Those who follow New England closely placed their eggs in the Hopkins basket and were quite disappointed when he passed the Patriots over, but have quickly been able to shift their focus toward another star free agent: Dalvin Cook. The Patriots have suddenly become the favorite to land the four-time Pro Bowler, and while that might be due to delusion among fans in New England, the organization is reportedly looking to add a running back to its ranks.
