Free agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had a friendly visit with the Tennessee Titans on Monday and now has his eyes set on the New England Patriots.
Jordan Schultz of TheScore reported that Hopkins would be at Gillette Stadium on Thursday. However, on Tuesday morning, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport also tacked Wednesday onto the schedule.
So per Rapoport, Hopkins is expected to visit with the Patriots on Wednesday and Thursday. If a deal doesn’t get done, there’s a chance he could schedule more visits to other teams. According to Schultz, the visit with the Titans went well. So he’s remaining in contact with that organization, too.

The Patriots will complete their mandatory minicamp on Wednesday, and Hopkins is expected to be in town that same day.
We don’t know the exact details of the meeting, but the Patriots should absolutely do everything in their power to make sure Hopkins doesn’t schedule any more meetings or leave the facility without signing a contract.
Hopkins has reportedly set a deadline for his decision by the start of training camps across the league. So we should hear very soon which team will add the five-time All-Pro.
