DeAndre Hopkins has well and truly established himself as one of the finest wide receivers in the business. Roped in by the Houston Texans back in 2013, Hopkins secured an impressive 4-year, $7,600,000 rookie deal but waited 8 years before dropping a massive $5.1 Million on his dream mansion.

Fresh off a $54 million extension in 2021, the star WR decided to buy a posh desert mansion in Paradise Valley. As reported by Realtor.com, the grand mansion spreads across 12,000 sq ft.

With six bedrooms, seven custom baths, a dramatic fireplace, an open kitchen, a 25-meter lap pool, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and the view of Camelback mountains, the mansion is truly a modern architectural marvel. As it turns out, the property was originally listed in 2016 for $8 Million, but Hopkins was able to get his hands on it for around $2.9 Million less.

After starting well in Arizona, DeAndre Hopkins now looks for a new home
After landing in Arizona, Hopkins straightaway proved how big an error the Texans had committed by trading him. The veteran WR not only made his way to the Pro Bowl in 2021 but also ended up breaking the franchise record for most receptions in a single season, leaving behind Larry Fitzgerald.

However, the next two seasons didn’t really turn out that well for the former Texan. While injuries halted his progress in 2021, last season, he was suspended for the first six games for violating the league’s Performance Enhancing Drug policy. Although he did churn out good numbers upon returning to the field, the Cardinals ultimately decided to release him a few weeks back.
While there have been rumors that Hopkins might join the Patriots, he recently returned from his New England visit without finalizing a deal. It will be interesting to see where he eventually ends up.
