What a bummer.
What a missed opportunity.
What a lousy feeling it is that just about the only person who didn’t see DeAndre Hopkins as the ideal fit for the Patriots is the one who could very easily have made it happen.
Hopkins, the 31-year-old, five-time Pro Bowl receiver, will play for the Tennessee Titans rather than the Patriots this season for one reason: Bill Belichick did not offer him enough money.

Such a decision should be inexplicable given the opportunity to add a player of Hopkins’s magnitude to an offense that has needed someone like him for at least four years now.
