bucsfan333 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's like $83M or something. Yeesh. EDIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 A lot of money for a receiver, but Hopkins is fantastic. Nice to see him finally get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance. 5/$81mm with $49mm guaranteed. Pretty hefty deal for him. But good to lock him up. Edit: By the time this deal is done, he'll be 30. Will probably extend it a few times between now and then, but he could be in line for a 3rd contract. Probably a 2-3 year deal, not nearly as big - but good money nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 That's going rate for stars these days. You can't just let him walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roysmyboy31 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Big money, but he deserves it. He is a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Gotta figure Odell Beckham Jr is geeking out as well. Between this deal and the Antonio Brown deal, his team has hard numbers to negotiate around. Odell is going to break this record when his deal is due.

And Stafford set the market for Winston. We're about to be screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmad Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I mean DeAndre has no one to throw him the ball but who cares about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse326 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Big money, but you can do this when you know your QB position isn't going to need that much money for the next several years. You have to figure Watson will have at least 3 years to prove himself, so even if he is Jamarcus Russell level bust it'll be 4 years before there is even a thought of paying a QB big.

He didn't have a guy throwing him the ball since... ever. He still has a string of impactful seasons. The Brock conundrum proved this to be something with a limit, but 115/1,500 with Hoyer, Mallett, Weeden and Yates shows he's pretty good. If Watson turns into the guy he was in college (big if) the Hopkins is due to put up monster numbers for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that puts a wrench into this is if Tom Savage goes ballistic this season - just out of left field with 4,000+ yards/25 TDs. Then? You can't let him walk, even with Watson in the wings. (Odds of this happening is Powerball level odds, but...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
