DeAndre Hopkins said plenty without uttering a single word about where he wants to play next.
The Cardinals receiver appeared to hint that he’d like to take his talents to the Bills or Chiefs amid rumors of a trade request.
During an appearance on CBS Sports’ “All Things Covered” podcast, Hopkins was asked to give his reaction to various NFL destinations using body language and facial expressions, and without talking.
When the host named the Bills and Chiefs, in both instances, Hopkins looked directly into the camera, smirking, while shrugging his shoulders and arms.
Hopkins — a three-time first team All-Pro wideout — looked the other way when the host suggested the Jets and Patriots as potential trade destinations.
The five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver didn’t say a word about his situation.
The podcast was posted on the same day Hopkins shared in a since-deleted tweet Sunday afternoon that he “doesn’t want a raise.”
Hopkins was previously linked to the Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars as his top preferred trade destinations.
The market for Hopkins is reportedly heating up, with the 30-year-old garnering interest from the Falcons, Ravens, Bills, Raiders and Patriots.
Retired NFL cornerback Adam Jones said on the “The Pat McAfee Show” late last month that he could see Hopkins landing with the Bills or Ravens.
“I don’t really think it’s about the money with him right now … I think he wants to get out,” Jones said. “He wants to win. Definitely wants to win and get a shot.
“I go back and look at the teams, and I know ‘D’ as a person … I’m leaning more toward the Bills or the Ravens.”
Hopkins worked out with Bills linebacker Von Miller in Dallas last month.
With the Bills, he would join a powerhouse receiver room that is led by Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.
The reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs could use Hopkins, despite winning a title without a star wideout and instead being led by stud tight end Travis Kelce.
Kansas City’s wide receiver group includes Richie James, Skyy Moore, Marques Valdez-Scantling and Kadarius Toney.
Hopkins tallied 572 yards in 2021 and 717 yards in 2022, due to injury and a PED suspension served in the first six games of last season.
Hopkins, who turns 31 in June, is set to start a two-year, $54.5 million extension this season, which was signed in 2020.
The Cardinals are looking for a second-round draft pick, plus something else of value for Hopkins, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer — who described it as a package similar to what the Texans received from Arizona in March 2020.
Houston sent Hopkins and a fourth-round pick to Arizona for running back David Johnson, a second-round pick and a 2021 fourth-rounder.
