Robert Saleh says Jets won't pursue star free agent wide receiver: 'We love our current group’

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh shot down the idea of signing free agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins after the five-time Pro Bowler was released last week.

The New York Jets have revamped their offense this offseason, but don’t expect them to be adding a star wide receiver

Jets head coach Robert Saleh was asked Wednesday about the possibility of signing free agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and Saleh quickly shot down the idea. 

"No, we love our current group," Saleh told reporters. "I know there was some stuff with Odell [Beckham Jr.], but other than that, we love our group." 

DEANDRE HOPKINS' NEW AGENT HAS NFL FANS GUESSING PRO BOWL RECEIVER WILL LAND IN NFC EAST

The Jets were rumored to be interested in Beckham before he signed with the Baltimore Ravens in April. 

New York has had a busy offseason, trading for four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers and adding wide receivers Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Mecole Hardman. 

Hopkins was released by the Arizona Cardinals Friday, ending his three-season stint with the organization.

The Ravens, New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills are reportedly interested in pursuing Hopkins, according to ESPN.

On a recent "I Am Athlete" podcast appearance before his release, Hopkins opened up about what he’s looking for in a franchise.

"What I want is stable management upstairs. I think that's something that I haven't really had the past couple years of my career coming from Houston to being in Arizona. I've been through three to four GMs in my career," Hopkins said. 

"A QB who loves the game, a QB who brings everybody on board with him, pushes not just himself but people around him. I don't need a great QB. I've done it with subpar QB. Just a QB who loves the game like I do. And a great defense. I think defense wins championships.

Hopkins hired Klutch Sports Group’s Kelton Crenshaw Tuesday to advise him during free agency, according to NFL Network.
