The Chicago Bears are entering the 2023 NFL season with high hopes and expectations. As the team looks to build on its successes from recent years and take the next step towards championship glory, there are numerous factors to consider, including the team’s roster, coaching staff, and schedule.

But one question that has been on the minds of many Bears fans and analysts is where DeAndre Hopkins, one of the most talented and dynamic wide receivers in the league, will be playing come game 1 of the 2023 season.

According to recent odds from various sportsbooks, including Odds Shark, the Bears are listed as one of the potential destinations for Hopkins, with +550 odds to land the star receiver.

The Bears have a few factors working in their favor as they seek to lure Hopkins to the Windy City including a promising young quarterback in Justin Fields, who has shown impressive potential and skill during his rookie season. With a talented and dynamic receiver like Hopkins on the roster, Fields would have a potent weapon to target downfield, further boosting the team’s offensive capabilities and making the Bears a formidable force in the NFC.

Of course, landing Hopkins would also require a significant investment from the Bears, both in terms of salary and a potential trade that would probably be costly but that they could afford.
