The DeAndre Hopkins draft has been one of the most discussed topics of the 2023 NFL offseason.
He has been linked to various teams up to this point, but remains unsigned and on the market.
After meeting with the New England Patriots, many believed that he would surely sign with them.
However, a recent report from Sal Paolantonio via Brad Stainbrook indicates that the Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers are still in contention.
While the New England Patriots sound like the leaders, the Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers are still on the lookout for DeAndre Hopkins, according to Sal Paolantonio on ESPN Radio.

Despite being suspended for half the season in 2022, Hopkins showed his skills in the games he played.
Throughout the offseason, the question with Hopkins hasn’t been about his game, but about his contract.
You are likely looking for the best price on a potential suitor, which could be a major problem.
If Hopkins wants the kind of money that AJ Brown and Cooper Kupp got, will any team be willing to give it to him?
He is 31 years old, which means his time in the NFL is up.
However, if you can contribute enough to a team, helping them make the playoffs, any amount of money could be worth it.
Every one of the teams listed above needs an alpha receiver, and Hopkins could fill that role.
The Patriots signed JuJu Smith-Schuster in the offseason, but his injuries could prevent him from realizing his potential.
The Browns and Panthers made significant moves on offense, but adding Hopkins would be a big improvement.
There’s only one team that can get Hopkins.
Who will it be?
