Hopkins, Cards agree to extension

[Chopper0080]

Don't let the numbers scare you.

Because we had DHop on a pretty cheap 3 year deal, the extension had to be big to make up for that.

We now have Hopkins for 5 years / 94.5 million total.

Thats 18.8 million average per year for an elite WR. That's a discount.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

On a per year basis, it would mke him the 4th highest paid WR behind Julio, Thomas and Cooper.

And 2-3 years from now he will be much lower on that list.

 

[Chopper0080]

Kyler Murray
Deandre Hopkins
Isaiah Simmons
Budda Baker

all under contract (considering Murray's 5th year option) through 2023. Not bad.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm thinking DeAndre Hopkins is a pretty good agent.

 

[Buckybird]

No 2-3 more years he will demand another contract! The precident has been set.

Listen, he’s a helluva player & well worth his going rate. I just hate that him, others can do the exact same thing again, this holding the franchise hostage. I don’t like it.

What if Kyler has an outstanding year, demands a huge deal next season, then says pay me or I’m sitting.

 

[Chopper0080]

and from here on out...the focus in on building the offensive line and getting the defense to a top 10 level. Our system seems friendly enough for RBs, and we have a premier WR.

If so, we trade him like the Texans did. No big deal.

The new deal was part of the trade. He did not hold us hostage

...are we really at the "what if" stage of critiques? What if Patrick Mahomes gets into an accident and can't play football in 3 years? What if Deshaun Watson retires because his surrounding cast sucks? What if Prescott leaves Dallas and Amari Cooper is wasted like Fitzgerald has been for many years in AZ?

Come on.

I think this allows Larry to play up to 2 more years, after this one.

I missed the Allen ext.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not sure if this follow-up tweet was posted... no-trade and a no-franchise tag clause. Last year is voidable.

[Buckybird]

In the contract. Non tradeable, no franchise tag can be used.

 

[BigRedRage]

Yeah I expect Larry to be off the payroll within the next couple yrs.

going out on a limb with this one!

 

[iLLmatiC]

I missed the Allen ext.

I think it was last week.

 

[RockinDaMike]

I don’t know why people are trippin about it. Paid what he’s worth imo and he doesn’t have an agent right? So he gets to keep a lot more money than these other top receivers.

I’m excited we have one of the best players in the game signed for awhile with the best QB we ever drafted. It’s a good day.

Good deal. No tag, no trade clauses are huge concessions here, which I'm cool with if it meant saving a few bucks on the contract.

Now go take care of PP21 and Jones

 

[Dr. Jones]

An extra 5.5 this year? didn't we already have 7mm roughly available? Pat P may be coming soon.

 

[BigDavis75]

This is a great deal for both sides. We have a star the negotiated a contract to make sure he stays with our team and is paid fairly...what’s not to like?

Lets see how Pat P plays first. Still not forgetting his selfish comments/behavior.

 

[BritCard]

Larry will play till he gets the receptions record.

hot take: Larry owes the organization as we've overpaid him the last few years and he knows it. His next few 1 year deals will be much more team friendly for his production (which I think will still be solid).

Said everyone the last 2 years
