The New England Patriots currently have one open spot on their 90-man offseason roster, and they will be looking at a big-name free agent to possibly fill it. As first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will visit the team next week.
Hopkins, 31, is one of the most prolific wide receivers of the last few years. A first-round draft pick by the Houston Texans in 2013, he quickly developed into a productive player and ended up topping 1,000 receiving yards in five of his seven seasons with the organization.
