DeAndre Hopkins is hopping over to the other side of the Chiefs-Ravens rivalry.
Baltimore is signing the three-time All-Pro wideout to a one-year, $6 million contract, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday.
Hopkins, 32, joined Kansas City via trade from the Tennessee Titans midseason in 2024 and contributed in spurts but failed to emerge as a massive difference maker for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Hopkins finished his most recent campaign with 56 catches for 610 yards and five touchdowns -- 41 receptions, 437 yards and four TDs coming in 10 games as a member of the Chiefs.
He brings a wealth of experience and excellence to Baltimore despite venturing past his prime. In 12 NFL seasons, Hopkins has amassed 12,965 yards and 83 touchdowns on 984 receptions. Barring injury, he's all but certain to become the 21st player in league history to join the 13,000-yard club and 16th to eclipse 1,000 catches.
If he logs a 100-yard receiving game next season, he'd also set a fun new record by doing so with a 13th different QB, an indicator of just how long Hopkins has been producing regardless of who is throwing him the ball -- especially amid constant changeover under center with the Houston Texans in his early years.
The Ravens will surely welcome such a weapon and hope that a full offseason to acclimate breeds greater results with Lamar Jackson than Hopkins found in K.C. last season.
Jackson's stable of pass catchers now includes Hopkins, Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, as well as the tight end duo of Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.
Baltimore keeps retooling with the Hopkins signing.
With any luck, it will finally be enough to lift the franchise above fellow AFC heavyweights into the Super Bowl.
