DeAndre Hopkins is not even close to hanging up his cleats — according to him, at least.

The free-agent wide receiver, 31, wrote Thursday on Threads that he’ll know it’s time to retire when he can’t reach a certain watermark.

“I’ll retire from football when I’m not a 1k-yard receiver,” Hopkins wrote on Threads. “With that said, I was on pace for 1,400 yards last year—one significant injury [in] 11 years. I might be playing till I’m 37 the way I feel.”

Hopkins, who was released by the Cardinals on May 26, has not reached the 1,000-yard mark as a receiver since the 2020 season, though his last two campaigns were hampered by injuries and a suspension due to the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy after trace elements of ostarine were found in his system, leaving Hopkins “confused and shocked,” he said at the time.

The five-time Pro Bowler played just 19 games over the last two years following an eight-year run in which he reached the 1,000 receiving yards plateau six times — almost entirely with the Texans.

Hopkins has drawn interest from a number of teams during his unexpected free agency, most notably the Titans, Patriots and Chiefs.

While Hopkins has visited with both New England and Tennessee — fostering “optimism” for a signing with the Patriots — the Chiefs have emerged as a contender recently, per ESPN.

“The Chiefs have kept in contact,” NFL insider Jeremy Fowler said, “and they have, certainly, some interest. The problem is money, they don’t have much of it.”

Money has been a question for all of Hopkins’ suitors, as it’s still unclear how much the wide receiver, who was slated to make $19 million this season before his release, desires.

The Chiefs have just $409,942 in cap space currently, according to Overthecap.com, but could change their situation with a new contract for defensive tackle Chris Jones, per Fowler’s report.

For the defending champions, whose pass-catching group was headlined by All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce and receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling last year, adding a resurgent Hopkins could provide Patrick Mahomes with another dangerous weapon.
