DeAndre Hopkins has finalized a one-year deal worth $5 million with the Baltimore Ravens, which could reach $6 million based on performance incentives. This move adds a strong asset for quarterback Lamar Jackson, who now has an enhanced receiving corps alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. Hopkins, a five-time Pro Bowler and former All-Pro, brings experience after a season with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he recorded 41 receptions for 437 yards and four touchdowns in regular play and excelled during the playoffs.

At 32, Hopkins's previous season was marred by injury, limiting him to a total of 56 receptions and hinting at a potential decline in his production. However, his track record includes multiple seasons exceeding 1,000 yards and a leading role in touchdown catches. With the Ravens aiming for deep playoff runs, his addition could prove pivotal in enhancing their aerial attack.
