Cowboys have landed the deal of Green Bay Packers wide receiver to replace…
The Dallas Cowboys would be an ideal landing spot for this veteran receiver.
In a trade scenario proposed by Inside the Star’s Mario Herrera Jr., the Cowboys would acquire five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a fifth-round pick. Herrera argues that although Hopkins is coming off a rebound season — he posted 75 catches for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns with lackluster quarterback play — the Titans could look to get younger and stockpile draft capital.
“Tennessee looks to get younger at the position to grow with second-year QB Will Levis, and a 32-year-old Hopkins could be expendable,” writes Herrera Jr. “The Titans have just four total 2025 draft picks and only one in the top three rounds. Dallas should offer a 5th-round pick in exchange for Nuk.”
While the Cowboys would certainly welcome the addition of a third established receiver following the release of Michael Gallup Jr. this offseason, Herrera makes sure to stress that the Titans would have to take on some of his 2024 salary due to the Cowboys’ recent cap-restrained approach.
“Execution of this trade would require the Titans to take on some of his 2024 salary,” writes Herrera. “Stephen Jones will scoff at his current cap hit of $18 million.”
Hopkins — who previously signed an $81 million contract extension in 2017 with the Houston Texans — is on the verge of entering the final year of a two-year, $26 million deal he signed with the Titans in 2023.
