The DeAndre Hopkins sweepstakes has finally been won.

After several weeks of rumors, deliberation, and potential landing spots, it appears that Hopkins is headed to the Tennesee Titans.

This has been reported on by many sources across the league, including NFL reporter and writer, Doug Kyed.

Free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins is expected to sign with the Titans, per source. Deal is expected to become official over the next few days.

Hopkins’ move to the Titans wasn’t exactly a surprise, as many sportsbooks gave the Titans the best odds at landing him.

While Hopkins can certainly elevate the Titans’ receiving room, at this point in his career, many thought he would head to a different team.

Can Hopkins’ career experience help the young players on this Titans offense, proving many of their doubters wrong?

He’s heading to a team with unknowns at the quarterback position, which has the potential to frustrate the veteran receiver.

Despite getting off to a positive start, Ryan Tannehill’s role as the starting quarterback for this team has been called into question.

The Titans drafted Malik Willis in the 2022 draft, and Will Levis was taken early in the second round of this year’s draft.

With two young prospects waiting in the wings, Tannehill’s leash could be significantly shorter this year than it has been in the past.

In an increasingly difficult conference in the AFC, the Titans’ move for Hopkins could be the difference-maker they need to compete this season.
