The New York Jets were rumored to have an interest in Odell Beckham Jr. However, Beckham has since landed in Baltimore with the Ravens. As the team awaits on the Aaron Rodgers saga to work itself out, they would like to bolster their receiving unit. It is now being reported that the Jets have an interest in free-agent DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins has been a star in both of his stops with Houston and Arizona. Adding Hopkins to an offense with Rodgers would send Jets fans' hopes to the moon.
Hopkins has spent the last three seasons in Arizona. Now it seems as if the star receiver may be looking for a new home. When Hopkins first arrived in Arizona, many believed the team to be a Super Bowl favorite. However, now the Cardinals are looking at a rebuild after the recent firing of head coach Kliff Kingsbury. The Cardinals are beginning a new era. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Hopkins is interested in a rebuild. The veteran receiver is ready to play for a winner. Obviously, the Cardinals are not the answer.
New York Jets Look To Bolster Receiver Unit
Last season, the Jets were seen as a team in the midst of a rebuild. Now they look like a team that is believing it could be Super Bowl or bust. Adding Aaron Rodgers to any team will make them instant contenders. However, that addition still has yet to be made by officials. Seemingly, it looks like the Packers aren't that interested in making a quick decision. The Rodgers saga has seen many rumors hit the waves. But it still feels like the Packers legend will be in the Big Apple to start next season.
Having DeAndre Hopkins to throw to would be a sight for Rodgers. Rodgers has long been frustrated with how the Packers have handled bringing in weapons to the franchise. Hopkins could arguably be the biggest downfield threat to ever play with Rodgers. Hopes are already at a fever pitch with the New York Jets faithful. However, it could be best for the Jets fan base to temper their feelings until everything is official. If the Jets were to add Hopkins and Rodgers, would that make them a Super Bowl Favorite?
