The Tennessee Titans have dropped the bombshell signing this fanbase has desperately been waiting for. After months of speculation, DeAndre Hopkins will reportedly be taking his talents to Nashville this fall.
Per multiple reports (AtoZ Sports’ Doug Kyed had it first), the Titans are signing Hopkins. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the deal is for two years and $26 million, with a max value of $32 million via incentives.
The Titans now have a superstar wide receiver who has previously thrived under new offensive coordinator Tim Kelly, who held the same position in 2019 in Houston, Hopkins’ final year with the Texans.
Granted, Kelly didn’t call the plays but he still had a major influence on the offense. The veteran earned All-Pro honors that year, finishing with 104 catches, 1,165 yards and seven touchdowns in 2019.
Hopkins also finished his sole season under Kelly with an overall grade of 87.3, per Pro Football Focus. Since then, his overall grade only eclipsed 80 once in three years in Arizona.
The Clemson legend now joins Treylon Burks and Chig Okonkwo in what could be one of the most intriguing trio of pass-catchers that will likely fly under the radar heading into 2023.
As you would imagine, Titans fans all over Twitter were ecstatic about the latest development because we know more than anyone else that this could be the missing piece that ultimately puts Tennessee right back into relevancy.
Let’s find out exactly how fans and media members everywhere reacted to Sunday’s breaking news.
