Free Agent No. 5

DeAndre Hopkins - WR

2022 Team: Arizona Cardinals

We can dream, can't we? The idea of adding DeAndre Hopkins to an offense that already has Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson, Jordan Addison, and K.J. Osborn, with Kevin O'Connell calling the plays would be a nightmare for opposing defenses.

Although unlikley, the signing Hopkins would indicate the Vikings are going all in for 2023. Hopkins wants to win a Super Bowl, and after spending his entire career with two teams who exude mediocrity (Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals), he can finally choose where he wants to go.

There is no question that Hopkins coming to Minnesota would create the best wide receiver duo in the NFL with Jefferson.

The veteran pass-catcher would slot into the No. 2 receiver role, and he would primarily deploy on the outside, allowing Jefferson to move around the offense with less attention.
