The Baltimore Ravens are signing veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to a one-year, $5-million contract, sources told Adam Schefter.
Hopkins can reportedly earn up to $6 million in Baltimore with incentives.
The 32-year-old began the 2024 season with the Tennessee Titans but was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs midway through the season. He caught 41 passes for 437 yards and four touchdowns in 10 appearances with the Chiefs and helped the team reach the Super Bowl. Hopkins, however, was limited to only three receptions in the playoffs.
Hopkins provides immediate depth and experience to a Ravens wide receiver room looking for more weapons to play alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. Flowers led the team with 74 catches for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns in 2024.
Joining the Ravens will give him another chance to compete for a Super Bowl after falling short last season. He’ll reunite with All-Pro running back and former Titans star Derrick Henry. Lamar Jackson should be the 20th different QB to complete a pass to Hopkins, the most among active receivers, according to NFL.com’s Tony Holzman-Escareno.
The Ravens have notably signed several high-profile wideouts later in their careers in recent years, including Dez Bryant (2020), Sammy Watkins (2021), DeSean Jackson (2022), and Odell Beckham Jr. (2023).
