Welcome into the lounge presented by Draft Kings. I'm Ryan Mink here with Garrett Downing.

0:08.0

And we are in full swing free agency mode. The moves are coming fast and furious. And for the Ravens, their big fish that they landed.

0:19.1

Wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, It's now official that the Ravens

0:22.4

have agreed to terms with the veteran purable wide receiver. Eric DeCosta put out a statement about that

0:30.0

earlier today saying, we are happy to bring DeAndre Hopkins to the Ravens. DeHop is a player

0:36.0

whom we have competed against and admired for a long time.

0:40.4

He fits our style of play and is another weapon for our offense. We're excited to watch and play and congratulate DeAndre and his family.

0:47.3

So officially official. Yeah, it's great to have that. We certainly talk through the benefits and what we think of adding DeAndre Hopkins.

here, of course, a few years ago. Mike Williams goes to the Chargers. He goes back to the Chargers

1:26.4

on basically the same

1:27.8

reported deal of what DeAndre Hopkins got. And so like I just, when I look at the deals that other

1:34.5

receivers are getting and the quality of the player that DeAndre Hopkins is, both in terms of what

1:40.1

he's done in his career and what I still think he has left in the tank. I think the Ravens are getting a proven player who still can be an impact difference

1:49.0

maker for this offense and at a really good price.

1:52.3

And so, like, I just feel really good about this contract and what the Ravens are able to add to this team.

1:58.7

Yeah.
