DeAndre Hopkins Hires Same Agent As Eagles WR DeVonta Smith
While it is unclear what specific interest the Philadelphia Eagles have in free-agent receiver DeAndre Hopkins, hiring the same agent as DeVonta Smith allows him inside access to multiple players on the roster.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs are embroiled in a fierce competition to secure the veteran. receiver. It is worth noting that the Eagles are set to face both teams during the 2023 season.

With the uncertain outcome, one can't help but ponder the exciting possibility of a Hopkins and Hurts connection unfolding in Philadelphia. Envisioning the likes of Smith, A.J. Brown, and Hopkins all lining up together on the field is enough to give the rest of the NFC sleepless nights. Such a formidable force would present challenges for any defense in the league, making the Eagles a clear Super Bowl favorite.
