Titans Now Odds-on Favorites to Sign DeAndre Hopkins

  • The Tennessee Titans have jumped to the -175 betting favorite to sign DeAndre Hopkins
  • New England, Kansas City and Buffalo round out the top four betting options
  • Check out the latest odds of who’s most likely to sign Hopkins, plus analysis and a prediction

Perhaps no team in the NFL needs a stud-caliber wide receiver like the Tennessee Titans do.

With a seeming snap of a finger, they’ve now been tabbed the betting favorite to land ex-Cardinals’ wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

Consider that when Hopkins was released by Arizona at the end of May, Tennessee was sitting at distant +3000 odds, with the Buffalo Bills the early betting favorite, at +300.

Let’s explore what could have tilted the odds.

DeAndre Hopkins – Next Team Odds

Player Odds
Tennessee Titans -175
New England Patriots +200
Kansas City Chiefs +330
Buffalo Bills +1200
Detroit Lions +3000
Houston Texans +3500
Dallas Cowboys +3500
New York Jets +4000
Cleveland Browns +4000
Chicago Bears +4000
Philadelphia Eagles +4500
Seattle Seahawks +6000
Carolina Panthers +6000
Miami Dolphins +6000
New Orleans Saints +6000
Baltimore Ravens +8000
New York Giants +8000
San Francisco 49ers +8000
Denver Broncos +8000
Jacksonville Jaguars +8000

Tennessee sits at -175 odds, followed by the New England Patriots, whose odds shortened from +850 to +200.

Lurking in third are the Kansas City Chiefs, whose odds shortened slightly from +400 to +330.

Buffalo, perpetually trying to get over the hump of the Chiefs (and Bengals) in the AFC, are now a distant fourth at +1200.

How Did Tennessee Shift to Favorite?

Do oddsmakers know something we don’t?

As there’s no significant reports — other than the acknowledgement that Tennessee has been aggressively pursuing the 5-time Pro-Bowler and 3-time All-Pro — or any noise from Hopkins’ camp, perhaps common sense is prevailing here.

Tennessee is desperate for legit receiver help. They’ve lost their top-2 pass catchers this offseason in Robert Woods and Austin Hooper, a total of 94 grabs. The only passable threat is 2nd-year man Treylon Burks.

Hopkins alone has surpassed 94 grabs five times in his career, though he’s coming off a 2-year stint where he’s missed 15 games. Last year, he totalled 64 catches for 717 yards and three majors.

With Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry each in the final year of their deals, Hopkins could take a 1-year prove it contract to rebuild his stock, and perhaps hit a final payday when he’d be 32.

D-Hop: Money or Titles?

The talented Hopkins has made nearly $115 million in salary in his career, which is key, because many of the favorites in pursuit are cash-strapped.

Tennessee only has about $8 million to play with, a little more than half of the $15 million Odell Beckham Jr inked with the Ravens.

There are always avenues to create cap space, but currently, Over The Cap has Kansas City with just over $500,000 available on their sheet. Buffalo is in better shape, but can only offer $5.3 million and change.

Both those clubs can offer a chance to chase titles, which could be appealing to the receiver entering his 11th season. KC ranks first and Buffalo third in the 2024 Super Bowl odds. The Chiefs offer the best player on the planet in Pat Mahomes, while Buffalo features Josh Allen.

Each team also features another pass-catcher that act as their own sphere of influence: Travis Kelce and Stefon Diggs. That leaves plenty of field for Hopkins to work with.

Cash-wise, the Patriots have more than $17 million available on their cap, but might offer the least appealing title chance with Mac Jones at quarterback.

Hopkins’ New Team Pick

There are two teams that offer ideal situations, with the finances to back it up.

The New York Jets (+4000) would consider Hopkins a major cherry on top of an offseason that includes the acquisition of quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

With over $20 million available, there’s plenty of dough to land Hopkins. He would allow the rest of the receiving group — Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, and Mecole Hardman — to not have to worry about levelling up, as he’d assume the no. 1 role with ease.

Dallas (+3500) is flush with $20+ million too, and a natural spot for Hopkins to work all over the field, with Brandin Cooks popping the top off the defense, and CeeDee Lamb assuming top-dog duties. Dak Prescott isn’t on Rodgers’ level, but you could do a lot worse at pivot in this league.

While Tennessee has suddenly vaulted to the top spot, they lack both the money and best shot to hoist the Lombardi Trophy to Hopkins. There’s better value in the middle of the pack, and that’s where we’ll settle.

Pick: Dallas Cowboys (+3500)
