For his second straight offseason with the New England Patriots, linebacker Matt Judon has kept up a side hustle of sorts as the team’s self-appointed recruiter. Judon’s free agent target this time around is three-time All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins. He is taking visits with potential suitors after Arizona released Hopkins in a salary cap move.

Coach Bill Belichick confirmed the team has spoken with Hopkins' camp, though hasn't confirmed when he is expected to visit New England.
