The 31-year-old has a lot of football left, but he wants the best system for him. Hopkins has visited the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots. Both visits went well; however, no contract was provided. According to Dianna Russini and Dov Kleiman, both NFL insiders, Hopkins is going over both options for the Titans and Patriots. Both teams have a former University of Alabama standout at a marquee position. Tennesee has star running back Derrick Henry while the Patriots have quarterback Mac Jones.

Jones needs a No. 1 wide receiver while Hopkins could be a nice piece with Henry. We will see which team Hopkins feels more comfortable with, but it is coming down to if Hopkins wants to play with Jones or Henry.
