The Tennessee Titans will be going through a head coaching change and may have some changes coming to their roster as well. Who are the players on the Titans roster that the Chicago Bears and their fans should have eyes on when they get ready for free agency this spring?
3. Could the Chicago Bears acquire DeAndre Hopkins this offseason
The Tennessee Titans could be shopping DeAndre Hopkins this offseason. They would save about $10.1M if they moved on from him, and after the season he had, there will be interest from teams.
Still, the Titans could be smart to move on. They are going through a bit of a rebuild. They have hired a younger head coach and plan to move on from Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill this offseason. This would be a chance to turn Hopkins into a draft pick before his contract expires, and they get nothing for him next year. It would extend the rebuild and give the Titans shots to compete down the road.
For the Chicago Bears, this is the right time to strike. They need to acquire a wide receiver but would be smart to go with a quarterback and edge rusher with their two top ten picks. They have the ascending D.J. Moore, so taking on the aging Hopkins does not flip the scales for them.
The Bears can afford it, and they could get Hopkins for a lower draft pick to take on the salary. Look for them to be active in any DeAndre Hopkins discussion this offseason.
