According to various reports from ESPN, AtoZSports.com, and NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, there is growing anticipation that free agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is signing a two-year contract with the Tennessee Titans.
The deal is rumored to be worth a minimum of $26 million, with the potential for Hopkins to earn up to $32 million through incentives.

After his release from the Arizona Cardinals, Hopkins drew interest from several teams, including the Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, and Kansas City Chiefs.
However, recent rumors suggest that the Titans have emerged as the leading contenders to secure his services. While the agreement has yet to be officially announced, the reports align with the earlier speculation of Hopkins considering the Patriots or Titans as potential landing spots.

Now, all eyes are on the three RBs without long-term deals on deadline day... with lots of work to be done.
Hopkins' addition to the Titans would significantly impact their offense. As the team's top wide receiver, he would provide a reliable target for their quarterback, regardless of who earns the starting position.
Despite serving a suspension and missing the first six games of the 2022 season, Hopkins demonstrated productivity during his nine appearances with the Cardinals, amassing 64 receptions for 717 yards and three touchdowns.
While Hopkins is expected to continue performing at a high level, his production may be influenced by the Titans' quarterback situation, which could potentially limit his upside. Photo Credit: Michael Chow/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK
