DeAndre Hopkins is going to have plenty of suitors after the Arizona Cardinals released him last week after three years with the Cardinals.
One team that could make sense for the five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver is the Cleveland Browns given his relationship with quarterback Deshaun Watson. The two played seven years together as members of the Houston Texans.
