All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins is still on the search for a new NFL team this offseason, and the Cincinnati Bengals could be on his bingo card.
Having played for three teams over the past two seasons, Hopkins is on the final stretch of his NFL career and is still chasing that Super Bowl ring.
Not many teams would be interested in a 33-year-old receiver, but the Bengals could be, especially after Hopkins' latest comments.
Speaking with Sports Illustrated, Hopkins was asked if there was a quarterback that he hasn't yet played with that he would want to, and he gave a good answer.
"I gotta go with Joe Burrow," Hopkins said. "I think Joe is one of the best. I love his game, his toughness. He took his team to a Super Bowl early in his career, and I feel like he can get back there with a little bit of help."

Could Hopkins land with Bengals?
Of course, he could.
But you could make the case that the Bengals are one of only a select few teams that don't need more weapons for their quarterback.
After all, the Bengals have Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. So, at best, Hopkins would be the third receiver, maybe even fourth, with Andrei Iosivas showing good signs last season.
A move would likely see Hopkins get a veteran minimum contract, with minimal snaps, possibly only in certain situations.
But it is a fun thing to think about. I'm just not sure how valid a move it is for the Bengals.
