According to Mike Sando of The Athletic, the exec praised the Ravens for retaining left tackle Ronnie Stanley before adding: "D-Hop, that doesn't do anything for me. He's just a name at this point." Hopkins, who will turn 33 in June, signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Ravens ahead of his 13th NFL season.

"We are happy to bring DeAndre Hopkins to the Ravens," General Manager Eric DeCosta stated. "D-Hop is a player whom we have competed against and admired for a long time. He fits our style of play and is another weapon for our offense. We are excited to watch him play and congratulate DeAndre and his family."
