Edit - He's back with the team.


Absolutely with Hopkins on this. He's the 3rd leading receiver from last year yet he's the 3rd highest paid on his OWN team, behind a rookie.

Texans would've had no issues cutting him if he didn't perform the first few years. Now that he's an elite receiver he deserves to get paid like one. Makes perfect sense for him wanting to get paid now in a profession with a short life span.

To anyone who says, "well he signed a contract" he signed what was fair at the time he was drafted, Texans or any team would've easily cut him if he didn't perform. Goes both way, he's performed way above expectations, he needs to get paid.

Also, I hope the PA has the balls to go after guaranteed contracts next time. Even if it's a lost season.
