DeAndre Hopkins is playing favorites.
Trade rumors have continued to swirl around the Cardinals wide receiver, but no market has materialized just yet. He may, though, have some preferred landing spots if he is dealt.
In a video with Bryant McFadden of the "All Things Covered" podcast, Hopkins seems to prefer the Bills and Chiefs, and has seemingly no interest in joining the Patriots or Jets. That is, if body language is any indicator.

The Cardinals recently gave the wideout permission to speak with other teams according to SI's Albert Breer, but it's unclear who may be interested in his services. Recent rumors say that the Ravens may be after Hopkins, this after adding Odell Beckham Jr. to the fold on a big-money, one-year deal recently.
Hopkins is clearly after quarterback play, if the video is a true representation of his feelings. The Patriots have something of an unknown with Mac Jones (if he's on the team come Week 1). The Jets have their sights set on Aaron Rodgers, but a deal has still not come to pass.
Hopkins' contract, current and potentially future, have been a "sticking point" in talks, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The 31-year-old is on the books for $19.5 million in 2023, with a cap hit of over $30 million if he remains on the Cardinals.

The Cardinals may have a significantly different look on both sides of the ball come 2023. Hopkins is likely to be traded or released, while star safety Budda Baker may also be on his way out of Arizona.
Recent reports indicated that the Jets had interest in "making a run" at Hopkins. But, according to Hopkins, it looks like New York need not apply.
