DeAndre Hopkins is making it known that Minnesota is a place he’d happily go to, with Kyler Murray now rocking the purple and gold in 2026.
The veteran wide receiver and free agent, 33, recently told TMZ he’d be happy to run it back with Murray, 28, with whom he played three seasons in Arizona from 2020 to 2022.
“Kyler … that’s my bro, man. Kyler is like family,” Hopkins told TMZ after the outlet spoke with him at LAX and asked him about Murray.
“Whatever I can do for someone like that — if Kyler needed me, if the Vikings need me, they know I’ll be there.”
Hopkins is coming off a season in which he appeared in 17 games for the Ravens and started in just three, recording 22 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns.
During the conversation with TMZ, he noted the Vikings already have Justin Jefferson on the roster and that bringing him into the mix would be a good fit for Minnesota.
The Vikings weren’t the only team suggested to Hopkins as a possible landing spot in 2026.
During an interview with Kay Adams, the “Up and Adams” host suggested the idea of teaming up with Joe Burrow in Cincinnati or even a return to Houston.
“Joe Burrow is one of the best in the game,” Hopkins told Adams in a clip published on social media on Saturday. “I’ve admired Joe since he was at LSU. Since he was beating up on my Clemson Tigers. I still love Joe. Joe is one of the best to do it.”
And when she brought up the idea of Hopkins in a Texans jersey, he said, “I love Houston. Houston is home. I still live there, so you know a little something.”
Hopkins is going into his 14th season in the NFL and searching for the fifth franchise he’s played for since he was taken 27th overall by the Texans in 2013.
Murray, the first overall pick in 2019, joined the Vikings on a one-year deal in free agency after his release from the Cardinals.
