It’s sounding like the Patriots are bowing out of the DeAndre Hopkins sweepstakes.
According to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, New England is “likely out” on the multiple-time Pro Bowler despite reported interest in adding him this offseason.

“Atlanta Falcons let’s f—ing go,” another fan tweeted at the team. “If we don’t get Hopkins and compete with Carolina. We will be mediocre all year.”

“I just have to say, I was one of the first people I know who mentioned not trading him until draft night if we couldn’t get a 2nd prior to April 27th lol. Now I’m seeing people say it everywhere,” a user laughed. “One mid round 1st or 2nd round run on WR’s, and the market drastically changes.”
