The New England Patriots are the wagering favorite to authorize free-agent receiver DeAndre Hopkins, simply in advance of their AFC East competing Buffalo Bills. After hosting him on a visit last month, the Patriots as well as Tennessee Titans are apparently the only two groups apparently in major opinion for the 31-year-old. Yet, NFL insider Jeff Darlington does not believe the Expenses are entirely out of the race for the former Arizona Cardinal. Speaking Monday during his appearance on the "Rich Eisen Show," Darlington reiterated that he thinks Hopkins has a place in Buffalo if he wants it.  " My understanding with the Costs is, yeah, they love DeAndre Hopkins, as well as he 'd be a fantastic enhancement, yet they're not gon na pay him," Darlington claimed. "If he intends to sound chase, there's a spot for him. " Major focus on "if," as presently, it seems Hopkins will most likely to the highest bidder. Of the 2 teams involved in the Hopkins race, the Patriots have the a lot of salary cap money available at an estimated $17. 7 million, according to OverTheCap Rhamondre Stevenson T-Shirt. Compare that to the Titans at $8 million and also the Costs at $5 million; it is simple to see why the Patriots are a significant competitor for his signature. Although with quarterback Josh Allen and receivers Stefon Diggs as well as Gabe Davis, Buffalo has a natural charm also if it can't supply him his preferred contract. The Expenses have actually been Super Dish competitors essentially from the day they landed Diggs, yet have fallen brief in current years of making it past the AFC National championship.  Last season's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the divisional round can likely be blamed on a lack of playmakers outside of Diggs. Signing Hopkins would address that trouble, providing 2 No. 1-caliber receivers and also furthering their range from the Patriots in the division.   At the end of the day, though, it will certainly boil down to the profession goals of Hopkins Christian Gonzalez T-Shirt. Does he desire a ring or a lucrative bargain? The Bills use him the very best possibility at a Super Dish, while the Patriots can provide him a lot more money.
