Hopkins is now 34 years old and has taken up coaching at the college level for Georgia Tech, raising questions about whether he could turn away from his new responsibilities as a coach if interested in playing this season. His best seasons are in the rearview mirror. Spotrac lists his current market value at just under $1.5 million.

Keim has categorically denied the allegations, stating it is 'impossible for a general manager or anybody within an organization to contaminate or affect a drug test' and that all NFL drug tests are administered by the league with teams and players receiving only results.
