In a significant move to bolster their receiving corps, the Baltimore Ravens have signed veteran wide receiver to a one-year contract. Hopkins, a five-time Pro Bowler, brings a wealth of experience and playmaking ability to the Ravens’ offense as they look to build around quarterback Lamar Jackson for the upcoming season.
Hopkins, 31, is widely regarded as one of the most talented wide receivers in NFL history. He spent the majority of his career with the Houston Texans before moving to the Arizona Cardinals, where he spent the last few seasons. Throughout his career, he has accumulated over 11,000 receiving yards and 71 touchdowns, earning a reputation for his exceptional hands, ability to make spectacular catches, and leadership on the field.
The Ravens’ offense struggled to find consistent weapons at the wide receiver position last season, with Marquise “Hollywood” Brown being traded to the Arizona Cardinals, and injuries hampering the team’s depth. With Hopkins in the fold, the Ravens aim to provide Jackson with a reliable and dynamic option on the outside.
Head coach John Harbaugh expressed excitement about the signing, saying, “DeAndre is a proven leader and playmaker in this league. We’re thrilled to add him to our team. His ability to make game-changing plays will undoubtedly help us take the next step as a team.”
For Hopkins, the move to Baltimore offers the chance to play for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. After suffering a tough loss in the playoffs last season, the Ravens are determined to build a roster capable of competing for a championship, and Hopkins’ arrival is seen as a major step toward achieving that goal.
Hopkins is expected to join the Ravens’ off-season training program and will be an essential part of the offense as the team prepares for the 2025 season. The deal marks a new chapter in Hopkins’ illustrious career as he looks to make an impact in Baltimore and chase his first Super Bowl title.
