Mac Jones does not get a No. 1 wide receiver in New England, but Derrick Henry has a new teammate.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports the Tennessee Titans have signed DeAndre Hopkins. He gets a two-year, $26 million contract worth up to $32 million with incentives. The 31-year-old is a three-time first-team All-Pro, five-time Pro Bowl selection, and NFL receiving touchdowns leader (13) in 2017. He has had six 1,000+ yard receiving seasons in ten years in the league.

The addition of Hopkins takes the pressure off of Henry.

Teams can no longer stack the box against the Titans with Hopkins outside. 

It is going to be fun to watch Tennessee’s offense moving forward.
