The Patriots haven’t signed DeAndre Hopkins, but they have come to an agreement on a contract with another wide receiver.
DeVante Parker is the receiver in question and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that he has agreed to terms on a new three-year deal with New England. Parker is set to make up to $33 million with with $14 million in guarantees and per-game roster bonuses.
Parker had been signed through this season with a base salary of $5.7 million.
Parker joined the Patriots last season after spending seven years with the Dolphins. He had 31 catches for 539 yards and three touchdowns while appearing in 13 games.
The Patriots visited with Hopkins earlier this month and oddsmakers have installed them as the favorites to sign him, but no deal has been struck. JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kendrick Bourne, Tyquan Thornton, Kayshon Boutte, Demario Douglas, Tre Nixon, and Malik Cunningham are the other wideouts currently on the roster.
