Free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins left his Patriots visit Thursday without a deal, according to reports, though his time with coaches and players was “productive,” per The Athletic.
Both sides are expected to evaluate their options over the near future, according to ESPN, which adds Hopkins “has not been in a rush” to sign with a new team. Thursday’s visit was Hopkins’ second after he traveled Monday to Tennessee. The three-time All-Pro has no other known visits and could opt to sign closer to training camp in late July.
During his New England visit, Hopkins posted a picture of himself and Patriots outside linebacker Matt Judon from the team’s locker room. He added the words “La Familia,” a nod to their friendship. Two days earlier, Judon opted to steer clear of the Hopkins conversation while other teammates endorsed the idea of signing him.
