The NFL news cycle has been buzzing this week with a number of headlines. On July 18, the biggest news was that the New England Patriots were not offering enough to acquire Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Meanwhile, New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell issued an apology for a tweet he sent out earlier in the week.
The Patriots have been linked to Hopkins for some time now, but the Texans are reportedly asking for too much in return for the All-Pro wideout. According to reports, the Patriots offered a package of draft picks and players, but the Texans are not interested in what they have to offer. It appears that the two sides are at an impasse and it is unlikely that Hopkins will be traded before the start of the season.
Meanwhile, Le’Veon Bell took to Twitter to apologize for a tweet he sent out earlier in the week. The tweet, which was quickly deleted, was seen as a shot at the Jets organization and their handling of his contract situation. Bell later apologized for the tweet and said that he was just expressing his frustration with the situation. He also said that he still has respect for the organization and is looking forward to playing for them this season.
These two stories have been dominating the NFL news cycle this week and it will be interesting to see how they develop in the coming weeks. The Patriots are still looking to acquire Hopkins, while Bell is trying to move past his mistake and focus on the upcoming season. It should be an interesting few weeks as these stories continue to unfold.
