‘This isn’t it’: Bill Belichick criticized for not adding DeAndre Hopkins to the Patriots

After missing out on signing wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, Bill Belichick’s commitment to supporting quarterback Mac Jones has once again been questioned.

Belichick, who was criticized for replacing Josh McDaniels with Matt Patricia and Joe Judge on the offensive coaching staff in 2022, was called out following the news that Hopkins plans to sign with the Titans.

The 31-year-old Hopkins, who was cut by the Cardinals in May, had “good vibes” with the Patriots, and New England was seen as having a legitimate chance of adding the five-time All-Pro.
