DeAndre Hopkins wanted to win. DeAndre Hopkins wanted respect. But most importantly, DeAndre Hopkins wanted to get PAID. The Arizona Cardinals backed up the Brinks Truck and made it rain with the richest non QB deal ever.
The deal is a 2-year extension that is worth a reported $54.5 Million in new money with $42.75 Million guaranteed at signing (Per @RapSheet). Oh Yea, the best part....he negotiated it himself. Sorry Jerry McGuire, no commission for you.
Now the only question does Hopkins production take a hit now that he's been paid or does he keep it movin' and put up those fantasy points we all care about?
