Although Hopkins finally notched his first catch and score with Baltimore, his fellow receiver, Zay Flowers, already has six catches for 134 yards and a touchdown as well. Can the Ravens maintain this output and clinch an opening night win over Buffalo?</p><h2><b>Ravens look to cap off season opener with win over Bills</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Ravens-QB-Lamar-Jackson.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Mark Konezny-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/ravens-news-deandre-hopkins-drops-truth-bomb-lamar-jackson-partnership">Hopkins was brought in</a> to bring a veteran presence to a younger receiving room. Flowers is entering his third season. Fellow former first-rounder Rashod Bateman is now in year five. Both receivers have grown into solid starters but could take that next step into superstardom. Hopkins is an ideal mentor to help them get there. One of the NFL’s best receivers during his time with the Houston Texans, Hopkins has been ring hunting ever since he left his first professional home.</p><p>Based on his play tonight, it looks like <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/ravens-news-zay-flowers-crushing-admission">Flowers is ready to take</a> that next step. Jackson has long lacked a true number one receiver, and if Flowers or Bateman hit that level, then the Ravens offense will be even deadlier this season. The tight end duo of Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely is one of the best in the NFL. Henry has proven that he’s ageless, continuing to break the backs of opposing defenses. Can Jackson and a more potent passing attack finally push Baltimore back towards a Super Bowl berth that has eluded them for far too long?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This personal undertone you’ve had against me since I left AZ is therapy worthy,” Hopkins wrote. “Whatever I did to you I apologize.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">WOW: DEANDRE HOPKINS WENT OFF ON A LOCAL <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CARDINALS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CARDINALS</a> REPORTER.</p><p>“Did your woman cheat on you with a black guy in highschool/college?”</p><p>😳😳😳 <a href="https://t.co/R7ZSw5QZa6">pic.twitter.com/R7ZSw5QZa6</a></p><p>— MLFootball (@_MLFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/_MLFootball/status/1963800174364701004?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 5, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Hopkins started out his time in Arizona with a Pro Bowl nomination. But his numbers started to simmer off from there, leading to his release in 2023. Since then, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-news-deandre-hopkins-classy-farewell-message-titans">Hopkins has spent time with the Tennessee Titans</a> and Kansas City Chiefs, with the Ravens making his third team in three years.</p><h2><b>DeAndre Hopkins ready for Ravens debut </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DeAndre-Hopkins-Cardinals.jpg"><figcaption>Michael Chow / USA TODAY NETWORK</figcaption></figure><p>If Hopkins wants to quiet all the noise from Odegard or any other detractors, a strong debut with the Ravens will do the trick. He’s joining a receiver room that already features talented players such as Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman alongside tight end Mark Andrews. But Hopkins still has plenty of gas left in the tank to make a difference.</p><p>The wide receiver split the season between the Titans and Chiefs in 2024. When he arrived in Kansas City, Hopkins caught 41 passes for 437 yards and four touchdowns. In his final season with the Titans, Hopkins caught 75 passes for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns. Over his entire 12-year NFL career, he has made 984 receptions, 12,985 yards, and 83 touchdowns. A five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, it’s clear to see why the Ravens targeted him in free agency.</p><p>Still, things will look a bit different for Hopkins in Baltimore. The Ravens will be predicated on their dynamic rushing attack between Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. However, the Ravens still finished the 2024 campaign ranked seventh overall in passing, averaging 237.4 yards per game. Hopkins will have an opportunity to be a true difference maker in one of the most explosive offenses in the league.</p><p>Entering his age-33 season, the veteran receiver will have to prove he can still be one of the most dominant pass catchers in the league. But for now, he must get through any past Cardinals drama and focus on helping the Ravens stack together victories.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

During a discussion with media members after practice, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/ravens-news-john-harbaughs-angry-response-donald-trump-white-house-question">head coach John Harbaugh</a> shared more details regarding Hopkins’ situation.</p><p>The 62-year-old head coach admitted that Hopkins had fallen on his knee on Wednesday and that the club is <a href="https://x.com/BaltimoreLuke/status/1948472127729873108" rel="noopener">being cautious right now</a> with it being so early in training camp, according to Luke Jones of WNST. That means DeAndre Hopkins, who is 33 years old, may sit out for a little bit before returning to action.</p><p>“John Harbaugh said DeAndre Hopkins fell on his knee a little bit yesterday, so they’re just going to be extra cautious with him early in camp.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/ravens-news-deandre-hopkins-talks-forming-chemistry-lamar-jackson">Ravens signed DeAndre Hopkins this offseason</a> as a free agent to a one-year, $5 million contract. He has a real chance at being the No. 2 wide receiver behind Zay Flowers. However, realistically, the veteran wideout is likely going to be the third option in the passing game as tight end Mark Andrews is one of Lamar Jackson’s favorite targets.</p><p>He aims to bounce back from what was a bit of a down season. He played 16 games total, making appearances for the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs. DeAndre Hopkins ended the 2024-25 campaign with 56 receptions, 610 receiving yards, and five touchdowns.</p><p>Regardless, the Ravens will hope for Hopkins to recover from his injury soon. The sooner, the better, as training camp is underway and the preseason is right around the corner. Baltimore is viewed as a playoff contender once again, and having a healthy Hopkins could go a long way in the regular season.</p><p>We’ll see how the five-time Pro Bowler bounces back. Baltimore will monitor him closely in the coming days before getting him back on the field. The Ravens are set to begin the regular season on September 7 when they take on the Buffalo Bills in a prime-time matchup.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cardinals-news-kyler-murray-has-honest-take-on-marvin-harrison-jr-connection">Kyler Murray</a> and an assortment of talent around him on offense, the Cardinals have what it takes to win every time they take the field.

Part of their success was their ability to link up on off-script plays, which is something the Cardinals have gotten away from since his departure. That may change in 2025, though, as reports indicate the Cardinals will be looking to <a href="https://x.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1936529498784289239" rel="noopener">create some of those off-script plays</a> for Murray and his cast of playmakers in an effort to keep opposing defenses on their toes.</p><p>“I was told Arizona looked back at what Murray was doing a few years ago where he and DeAndre Hopkins would always connect on those off-scripted plays,” Jeremy Fowler said on SportsCenter. “They said Hopkins was elite at it, and so was Murray. So this time around in OTAs and minicamp, sometimes they would sort of break the play a little bit.

Speaking at minicamp this week, the 24-year-old wideout made it clear that he’s eager to reshape how people see Baltimore’s receiving corps, a group that’s faced its fair share of criticism for not living up to expectations.</p><p>“I wanted to change the narrative about receivers here,” Bateman shared with NFL Network’s The Insiders. “And I truly believe we’re heading in the right direction to do just that.”</p><p>Bateman recently inked a three-year, $36.75 million contract extension and is coming off a standout 2024 <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/article/rashod-bateman-hints-ravens-wrs-155718560.html" rel="noopener">season where he racked up</a> 45 receptions, 756 yards, and nine touchdowns.

Considering the Ravens want to challenge the Eagles for the Lombardi Trophy next February, why not bring in Hopkins to see what he can and can’t still do?</p><p>Well, though it’s still technically the spring, the Ravens have reportedly found out something new about the 12-year vet, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec: Hopkins doesn’t mind <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6401111/2025/06/03/ravens-deandre-hopkins-organized-team-activities/" rel="noopener">getting down and dirty as a blocker</a>.</p><p>“Hopkins has 984 receptions over 12 NFL regular seasons, establishing himself as one of the best receivers of his generation. When the Ravens signed Hopkins to a one-year, $5 million deal in March, they praised his reliable hands and ability to make spectacular catches look routine. But they’ve learned more about Hopkins since OTAs began last week,” Zrebiec wrote.</p><p>“Coach John Harbaugh took note of Hopkins’ willingness as a blocker during an OTA practice. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken spoke Tuesday about the impact the five-time Pro Bowler has had on the younger players. Wide receiver Zay Flowers has been impressed by how methodical Hopkins is on the field.”</p><p>One of the defining wide receivers of his generation, Hopkins has spent over a decade impacting games as a pass catcher, making circus grabs and turning nothing into something with his impressive YAC abilities. But in the Ravens’ offense, receivers need to block, too, as any given play can become a massive gain if Lamar Jackson decides to start running.

By <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-deandre-hopkins-signing-baltimore-super-bowl-loss-chiefs">signing with the Baltimore Ravens in free agency</a>, Hopkins allowed the trio he mocked up years ago to come to fruition.</p><p>Once Hopkins signed with the Ravens, fans immediately trudged up the old photo he posted with Jackson and Henry in 2020. In it, the veteran wideout asked fans how many touchdowns the hypothetical trio would account for. With the theoretical scenario now materialized, Hopkins was <a href="https://x.com/Ravens/status/1900582467150774562" rel="noopener">forced to address it</a> but gave an evasive answer to his own question.</p><p>“I did not think there was a possibility [we would ever play together],” Hopkins said in an interview posted to the team website. “The number [of touchdowns we score] is enough to win the amount of games we need to win. Hopefully, it’s more than a little bit.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">.<a href="https://twitter.com/DeAndreHopkins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DeAndreHopkins</a> weighs in on his viral pic with <a href="https://twitter.com/Lj_era8?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Lj_era8</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/KingHenry_2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KingHenry_2</a> 😂 <a href="https://t.co/EBEnpqzh88">pic.twitter.com/EBEnpqzh88</a></p><p>— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) <a href="https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/1900582467150774562?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 14, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Four years after the original photo, neither Hopkins nor Henry are still in their athletic primes. That has not seemed to affect Henry, who is coming off a 1,921-yard rushing season, but it has clearly taken a toll on Hopkins. The 32-year-old managed just 610 receiving yards in 2024, his fewest in a full season.</p><p>Despite Hopkins’ clearly diminished form, his presence provides meaningful experience to an otherwise young Ravens receiving room. Before his signing, Baltimore’s most experienced wideout was scarcely used seven-year veteran Anthony Miller.</p><h2><b>Ravens’ Super Bowl aspirations with DeAndre Hopkins addition</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Ravens.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Mitch Stringer-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>DeAndre Hopkins also joins the team as a proven winner, coming off a Super Bowl LIX appearance with the Kansas City Chiefs. The game marked the first Super Bowl appearance of his 12-year career.</p><p>While head coach John Harbaugh has a ring on his resume, neither one of Lamar Jackson or Derrick Henry has ever made a Super Bowl. Adding that level of experience to the roster made Hopkins one of the Ravens’ biggest free agency additions.</p><p>Coming off three consecutive playoff appearances — including one AFC Championship Game berth — the Ravens are aching to get over the hump and return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2012. They will seemingly have the best chance to do so in 2025 with their most complete roster of the Jackson-led era.</p><p>Despite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-mark-andrews-breaks-silence-devastating-bills-loss">losing to the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round</a>, the 2024 campaign was a highly successful one for Baltimore. Jackson took a considerable leap as a passer, leading to second-year wideout Zay Flowers’ first Pro Bowl nod. Regardless of the disappointing finish, the Ravens’ offense looked better than it ever had, including Jackson’s two MVP seasons.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-deandre-hopkins-prophetic-derrick-henry-lamar-jackson-post-resurfaces">Hopkins teams up with Ravens stars Lamar Jackson</a> and Derrick Henry with an old photo recirculating of the Ravens’ new trio.</p><p>After the move was made, Ravens GM Eric DeCosta <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1900185947217473829/photo/1" rel="noopener">released a statement</a> on the signing, via Adam Schefter of ESPN:</p><p>“We are happy to bring DeAndre Hopkins to the Ravens,” DeCosta wrote. “D-Hop is a player whom we have competed against and admired for a long time. He fits our style of play and is another weapon for our offense. We are excited to watch him play and congratulate DeAndre and his family.”</p><p>Hopkins’ deal with the Ravens is worth $6 million for one year, so it will be worth seeing how he performs in the high-powered offense.</p><p>Hopkins to the Ravens has been a long time coming, and ESPN’s Bill Barnwell mentioned that Baltimore was <a href="https://x.com/billbarnwell/status/1900189270763024744" rel="noopener">trying to trade</a> for him in 2020.</p><p>‘Ravens were attempting to trade for DeAndre Hopkins when the Cardinals landed him in 2020. Now, five years later, they’ve got him.’</p><p>Hopkins turns 33 in June, but he can still produce at a high level. In 2024, between the Titans and the Chiefs, he had over 600 yards with five scores, with most of that coming with the Chiefs.</p><p>Hopkins is just one season removed from a 75-catch, 1,057-yard campaign with the Tennessee Titans, which came in 2023. If DeAndre Hopkins can play at a high level in 2025, it would be a big boost for the Ravens’ offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Tuesday, they <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1899597442049319112" rel="noopener">continued that effort in a big way</a> when they agreed to a one-year, $6 million deal with veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/chiefs-news-deandre-hopkins-sends-heartfelt-message-after-super-bowl">Hopkins spent last season with the Chiefs</a> after a midseason trade with the Tennessee Titans. While he didn’t put up huge numbers, the former Houston Texans star was a reliable weapon for Patrick Mahomes. He caught 41 balls for 437 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games with Kansas City and also had a touchdown catch in its Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.</p><p>Hopkins is one of the best wide receivers of the last 15 years in the NFL. He comes to Baltimore with 984 career catches and 83 touchdowns, so his experience will be a massive benefit to the rest of the wide receiver room.</p><p>Hopkins hasn’t made a Pro Bowl or an All-Pro team since 2020 and has only eclipsed 1,000 yards in a season one time since then in 2023. However, the Ravens are hoping that Hopkins will give Jackson a reliable target on the outside and in the red zone even if his volume in the passing game isn’t through the roof.</p><p>Stylistically, it’s easy to see why the Ravens like this fit with Hopkins joining the offense. Baltimore has a lot of smaller slot receivers, most notably Zay Flowers, but they don’t really have a big body on the outside that provides a more physical element in the passing game.</p><p>Hopkins can be a ball-winner for Jackson and company that can be a true bailout option in some situations. Oftentimes, Jackson is tasked with making a play all by himself if the original call is snuffed out or doesn’t work for another reason. Now, Hopkins can do that at times by making contested catches down the field.</p><p>Overall, Hopkins may not have the numbers that he did in his prime years with the Texans or in his first season with the Arizona Cardinals. However, he will still be a very valuable asset to this Ravens offense as it looks to get over the hump in 2025.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
