Even though DeAndre Hopkins is currently in Foxboro for an official visit with the Patriots, one NFL insider doesn’t believe the free agent is going to make a decision on his next team anytime soon.
On Wednesday, The Athletic’s Jeff Howe noted in his Patriots column that “there’s optimism the two sides can find a way to reach an agreement.”
But even if the 31-year-old wideout’s two-day trip to Gillette Stadium is productive, New England’s pitch may not prompt the All-Pro to sign on the dotted line this week.
On Wednesday afternoon, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said that he’d be surprised if Hopkins signs on with the Patriots before wrapping up the visit on Thursday.
