Most experienced receivers are now out of the free agent market, the norm De Andre Hopkins One of the most important storylines on the stand. The Cardinals star has been referenced many times in trade rumors this offseason, and he provided the latest update on his situation today.

The 30-year-old, who was told to only respond with body language, responded positively to the suggestion that he join the Chiefs and Bills, while the opposite was true for the Jets and Patriots (VIDEO Connection)
While there is certainly a limit to how much one can read into his answers, Hopkins’ answers are a little surprising. Both Kansas City and Buffalo have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring the five-time Pro Bowler. The Super Bowl champions forgo a WR session The Dyrek Hill In 2022 they succeeded, but they lost Juju Smith Schuster And Cole Hartman In free enterprise. Meanwhile, the Bills need a compliment Stephen DixOne that could get into the draft, but will be achieved through the Hopkins acquisition.
New England, meanwhile, has been named the team least likely to win a trade for the three-time All-Pro. Presence of the offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien — the Texans head coach and de facto general manager when Hopkins was traded to Arizona in 2020 — will no doubt create an awkward situation for the Patriots. New England signed Smith-Schuster but could add an impact pass catcher, whether a veteran or a rookie.
The Jets were busy redesigning their WR corps in anticipation of acquisitions Aaron Rodgers. This process was Hartmann’s signatures and Alan Lazardas well as a pursuit Odell Beckham Jr With the latter joining the Ravens (in a deal worth more than the Jets or any other team on offer), speculation of a connection between Hopkins and them could intensify. However, as ESPN’s Rich Cimini points out, a Hopkins deal is unlikely at this point.
Finances are at the heart of trade talks between the Cardinals and interested teams. Hopkins has had great success in each of the last two years of his current deal, which could impact the trading returns Arizona is willing to invest in some of its compensation.

That is consistent with previous reports on the matter and is surprising given Hopkins’ recent decision to hire an agent as he wants to overhaul his contract. It will be interesting to see if his apparent interest in a move to the AFC heavyweights pays off, especially post-draft.
