This seasoned receiver would be best suited to join the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys would acquire five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans in return for a fifth-round pick, according to a trade scenario put up by Mario Herrera Jr. of Inside the Star. Herrera contends that despite Hopkins’ strong return to the field this season (75 receptions for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns despite poor quarterback play), the Titans may decide to acquire younger players and accumulate draft picks.
Hopkins, 32, may be disposable as Tennessee attempts to develop a younger quarterback in Will Levis, a second-year player, according to Herrera Jr. Only one of the Titans’ four 2025 draft selections is in the top three rounds. Dallas ought to trade Nuk for a fifth-round selection.
Reasons for the Cowboys to Sign DeAndre Hopkins
Following Michael Gallup Jr.’s release this offseason, the Cowboys would undoubtedly appreciate the addition of a third experienced receiver. However, Herrera emphasizes that the Titans would have to absorb a portion of Herrera’s 2024 salary because of the Cowboys’ recent cap-restrained strategy.
According to Herrera, “the Titans would have to absorb a portion of his 2024 salary in order to carry out this trade.” “Stephen Jones’s $18 million cap hit will make him laugh.”
Hopkins is about to start the last year of a two-year, $26 million contract he signed with the Titans in 2023. Hopkins previously inked a $81 million contract extension with the Houston Texans in 2017.
It is conceivable for the Cowboys to add a third seasoned receiver. Dallas’ top two receivers going into training camp will probably be CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks, with rookie Ryan Flournoy, Jalen Tolbert, and rookie KaVontae Turpkin vying for the slot position.
In his first two seasons of play, Tolbert has only caught 29 passes for 268 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while Turpin has mostly played return specialist, recording just 13 receptions for 136 receiving yards and three scores in his career.
