Titans Being More Aggressive On DeAndre Hopkins

Both the New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans have made offers to free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, but the Titans have been more aggressive to this point, according to sources close to the situation. However, Hopkins hasn't been in a rush to sign as he leaves open the possibility of another team entering the mix, which would potentially increase his market. If it remains between the Pats and Titans, one question Hopkins might have to ask himself is which team gives him a better chance to cash in on incentives and maximize his earnings. That would likely give the Patriots an edge, given his proven production in offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien's system from their time together with the Houston Texans. Either way, don't expect Hopkins to sign until closer to training camp at the end of July.
