If you’re a Buffalo Bills fan thinking it would be awesome for your team to sign free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, don’t hold your breath.
It sure seems like Hopkins did not like a recent report that implied he was interested in signing with the Bills this offseason.
Responding to a Bleacher Report Gridiron Instagram post that said Buffalo would be open to signing Hopkins if he’s willing to “ring chase,” the Pro Bowl wideout shared some very expressive emojis to express his reaction.

We’ll leave it to you to figure out what the emojis are trying to say, but if you can’t tell, it’s not positive.
Hopkins reportedly has offers from both the New England Patriots and the Tennessee Titans but is said to be holding off from signing with any team in the hope that another team gets involved and drives up the value of a potential contract.
“Key points on where things stand with free agent receiver DeAndre Hopkins, according to sources close to the situation, are as follows: The Tennessee Titans and Patriots have made offers, the Titans have been more aggressive to this point and Hopkins hasn’t been in a rush to sign. One reason for Hopkins to wait a bit longer is to leave open the possibility of another team entering the mix, potentially increasing his market,” ESPN’s Mike Reiss said earlier this week.
Apparently, he doesn’t want that team to be the Bills.
