Adam “Pacman” Jones doesn’t believe DeAndre Hopkins leaves Foxboro without a deal with the New England Patriots.
During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the former NFL defensive back, who is also Hopkins’ friend, gave his personal thoughts on the visit between the Patriots and All-Pro receiver.
Of course, he made sure to preface his comments by stating his opinion came from him alone with no insider information on the matter.
“I like this Patriots thing,” said Jones. “This is just me, personally. I don’t think he leaves there without a deal. …I think it can get done.”

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport believes it would make more sense for Hopkins to wait until closer to training camp before making a decision. Things can change quickly in the NFL, and an injury or bad camp showing by a player could drive up interest for Hopkins.
But there’s also the possibility that the Patriots are looking to move quickly on a deal and present the 31-year-old receiver with an offer he feels he can’t turn down.
