As DeAndre Hopkins continues to mull his choices in free company, the star broad receiver reportedly has two contract gives already on the desk from the Patriots and Titans.

Although the 31-year-old wideout visited each Tennessee and New England earlier this month, he left each franchises with out inking a contract.

However in response to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, each groups have gives in place if Hopkins does choose to decide within the coming weeks.

“His gross sales job continues attempting to get extra groups at this level, as a result of proper now, we all know that there are solely two groups which have had DeAndre Hopkins come to their facility,” Russini said on ESPN’s NFL Live on Thursday morning. “I used to be informed by sources near the state of affairs that Hopkins goes over among the gives from each of these groups, the Titans and the Patriots. He’s mulling over and attempting to provide you with a choice with what he desires to do.”

Hopkins visited the Patriots for 2 days at Gillette Stadium final week, with ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reporting that the All-Professional expertise “seemed he’s actually intrigued, excited by enjoying with New England.”

However that doesn’t imply that Hopkins is in any rush to signal on the dotted line proper now. 

“It’s been a flat market. It doesn’t sound like he’s in any rush to [sign] a deal,” Adam Schefter defined throughout an “NFL Dwell” phase final week. “You don’t need to signal in the course of June when you’ll be able to wait till proper earlier than coaching camp.

“For all we all know, some group suffers an damage, some group loses a receiver, the dynamics change and shift, and there might be extra leverage in some unspecified time in the future in time for DeAndre Hopkins,” Schefter added. “So he can hearken to Tennessee, he can hearken to New England, he can see what they’re providing, however there’s no rush. He can wait till a firmer provide from one other group materializes. Doesn’t sound like he’s in a rush to do something proper now.”

Russini echoed an identical sentiment. Although Hopkins has solely visited with New England and Tennessee, different potential suitors may come calling as soon as coaching camp commences in late July, particularly if accidents affect receiving corps.

“I used to be informed to be very affected person right here,” Russini stated of Hopkins’ timeline. “This isn’t one thing that’s going to go down within the subsequent 24 or 48 hours. It’s going to take a while for DeAndre Hopkins to provide you with his closing determination of the place he desires to play.”
