The Baltimore Ravens have come close to securing conference championships and Super Bowl appearances during the Lamar Jackson era.
Despite boasting a talented roster on both offense and defense, Baltimore has struggled to overcome the tough AFC competition, which includes teams like the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs.
Kansas City recently punched their ticket to the Super Bowl, ultimately losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in its third straight trip to the big game.
Following their Super Bowl defeat, a few key players have opted for new opportunities, including wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Hopkins has recently joined the Ravens, potentially bringing Lamar Jackson and Baltimore closer to achieving their Super Bowl ambitions.
“WELCOME TO BALTIMORE, DeAndre Hopkins,” posted the Ravens’ official social media account. “We have agreed to terms on a contract with WR DeAndre Hopkins.”
Hopkins agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million.
Hopkins was traded to the Chiefs during the 2024 season after starting the year with the Tennessee Titans. He finished the season with five touchdowns and 610 yards on 56 receptions. Though he’s in the latter stages of his NFL career, Hopkins brings a wealth of experience to the wide receiver group.
Over his 12-year career, he has earned three All-Pro selections and five Pro Bowl appearances.
The Ravens finished the season with a 13-6 record, including a playoff victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers and a postseason loss to the Buffalo Bills.
