DeAndre Hopkins Joins Baltimore Ravens Following Chiefs Departure

DeAndre Hopkins has officially signed a one-year deal worth up to $6 million with the Baltimore Ravens after a stint with the Kansas City Chiefs. During his time in Kansas City, he recorded 437 yards and four touchdowns in just six games, marking the lowest yardage total of his 12-year career for seasons with more than 10 games played. The Chiefs traded for Hopkins during the 2024 season from the Tennessee Titans, but after a lackluster postseason, they chose not to re-sign him. His departure has left the Chiefs' receiving corps without its most experienced member, while the Ravens gain a significant weapon for quarterback Lamar Jackson. Meanwhile, the Chiefs continue to adjust with emerging talents like Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, amidst the competitive landscape in the AFC. Hopkins' signing with the Ravens is seen as a potential boost for a team that finished strong last season, despite the Chiefs' recent successes.
