FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins visited with the New England Patriots on Thursday and, barring an unexpected turn, both sides are now expected to take some time to assess their next steps, according to a source familiar with the visit.
Hopkins, 31, has not been in a rush to sign with a team, and has considered waiting until closer to training camp in late July to make a move, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Likewise, the Patriots officially conclude their offseason program on Friday, with about a one-month hiatus before the start of training camp.
