Hopkins holding out for new deal
Adam Shefter


Unhappy with contract, Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins has left camp, holdout underway, HOU has declined to negotiate, via @taniaganguli and me.

I think Hopkins short-lived "holdout" was to send a message to the owner/GM. There are a lot of examples where teams have "rewarded" rookie performance before their contract was completed. KC did this proactively with Kelce...once they realized he was going to be a very good TE. Texans should have already been on this IMO. Everyone in that locker-room knows he is their best player not named Watt. Paying a team leader/pro-bowler less than a rookie, playing the same position, is poor management.

Hopkins has a legitimate argument...he has out-played his rookie slotting. Houston isn't obligated, contractually, to give him a raise...but they should have seen this coming. It sends a bad message...

It sounds like Hopkins was demanding the Texans just give him more money period. Teams extend players in their rookie contracts all the time.

Hopkins clearly did/said SOMETHING to piss off the team in his quest to earn more money. It's totally unrealistic to think that a team would do to him what Carl Peterson did to John Tait when he politely suggested, "Give my agent a call, and let's talk about extending me to be a Houston Texan beyond these next couple years."

Dorsey re-upped Kelce and Fisher completely unbeknownst to the fans. It hit us all out of left ****ing field. Fisher said nothing. The press said nothing. He said nothing.

Hopkins announced to the world what was going on, bitched and whined, and did his attention grabbing "LOOK AT MEEEEEE!" shit with his holdout. The Texans correctly said, "Get back to ****ing work."

Kinda dumb of Hop to demand more money before having a possible record breaking type year this season.

Brock is going to have no trouble getting him the ball.

A lot.

I could see him having a 1800 yard season with more than 15tds.

He should get the highest contract in history for a WR after this year.
