The Cleveland Browns may be firmly in the race for former Deshaun Watson teammate DeAndre Hopkins as he continues to look for his next home in free agency. ESPN’s insider Adam Schefter goes on to add they may just be in the mix for Hopkins along with three other AFC teams on his show The Adam Schefter Podcast.
Schefter lists the Browns in the same tier as the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and the New England Patriots. When speaking about the Browns, Schefter added:
“There is the Cleveland Browns. He worked with Deshaun Watson in the past, I am sure Watson wants to work with him again. The Browns certainly could use another wide receiver to compliment Amari Cooper although Donovan Peoples-Jones came on and they do have some other young wide receiving talent. But Cleveland would make some sense, but again, does DeAndre Hopkins want to go there?”
Schefter closed with this line:
“I think the public is a lot more interested in DeAndre Hopkins than NFL teams are interested.”
