Five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has reached a one-year, $5 million deal that could get to as much as $6 million with the Baltimore Ravens, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
Hopkins gives Lamar Jackson another weapon to throw to, joining Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and others on a Baltimore team that lost to the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs.
The 32-year-old Hopkins joined the Chiefs in a midseason trade with the Titans this past season, with Kansas City sending a conditional 2025 draft pick to Tennessee in return.

In 10 games (five starts) with Kansas City, Hopkins caught 41 passes for 437 yards and four touchdowns. He added three receptions for 29 yards and a TD in three postseason games (two starts), including a 2-18-1 line in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Hopkins was slowed by a knee injury at the start of training camp. Including his six games with the Titans, he finished 2024 with 56 catches for 610 yards and five touchdowns. The 56 catches were his lowest total for a full season since his rookie year in 2013.
Hopkins entered the NFL as a first-round draft pick of the Houston Texans in 2013 out of Clemson. He has played 12 seasons between the Texans, Arizona Cardinals, Titans and Chiefs.
A three-time first team All-Pro, Hopkins has topped 100 catches in a season four times in his career and has gone over 1,000 yards seven times. He led the league in touchdown catches with 13 in 2017 while with the Texans.
Hopkins is 16th all time in catches (984), 21st in yards (12,965) and tied for 26th in touchdowns (83).
