WR DeAndre Hopkins Signs 2-Year, $26 Million Contract With Tennessee Titans

The latest NFL free agency splash came Sunday afternoon when the Titans signed WR DeAndre Hopkins to a 2-year, $26 million deal with an additional $6 million in incentives. Hopkins was released by the Cardinals in May, and he was long considered the most valuable free-agent receiver on the market following the NFL Draft. The move makes Tennessee a potential AFC South contender despite a vast quarterback controversy. Ryan Tannehill is still the incumbent QB, but Malik Willis and rookie Will Levis are on the roster.

 

Nuk in a Nutshell

The wideout, known by his nickname as ‘Nuk’ Hopkins, was once prolific with the Texans before three injury-riddled seasons in Arizona. He’s racked up 853 receptions, 11,298 receiving yards, and 71 touchdowns over 10 seasons. Now 31, Hopkins is likely nearing the end of his high-end production. He was rumored to be in talks with the Chiefs and Patriots but ultimately lands as the Titans’ No. 1 receiving option on a team that will be run heavy behind RB Derrick Henry.
