Doesn’t Seem Like DeAndre Hopkins Interested In Trade To Patriots

The viral video showing an on-field embrace between Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and Arizona Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins prompted many to believe the veteran wideout would be interested in playing for New England.

It was one of the first things Patriots fans pointed to when Hopkins first was mentioned in trade speculation at the beginning of the NFL offseason. Hopkins, however, seemed to share a different perspective in a more recent video.

The talented wideout hinted that while speaking with Bryant McFadden on CBS Sports’ “All Things Covered” podcast. During an exercise, Hopkins was asked to use his body language to indicate how he would feel about being traded to a specific team.

Hopkins’ nonverbal reaction to the Patriots and New York Jets was far different than his reaction to the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs.

While arguably no team initially was linked to Hopkins more than the Patriots, recent reports have indicated its less likely New England pursues him unless there’s some sort of change in Arizona’s trade demands or Hopkins’ finances.

Perhaps Hopkins doesn’t view that as a negative development, unlike the Patriots fans who were hoping New England landed a top receiver.
