The Baltimore Ravens and WR DeAndre Hopkins agreed to terms on a contract, executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta announced Thursday.
A five-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro, Hopkins will be available in a podium setting at the Under Armour Performance Center on Friday (March 14) at a time to be determined. (A media advisory with details will be sent later today.)
Stated DeCosta on Hopkins: "We are happy to bring DeAndre Hopkins to the Ravens. '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."
