Rumors are Deandre Hopkins is wanting a return to the Texans. Him as a willing WR 3 would be fantastic, but I have my doubts that he is willing to accept the lower role at this point in his career. Probably a pass from me as I could see that having an effect on the culture of the team.
Bringing in a diva like Hopkins is not smart. He was one of my favorite players at one point but unless he can prove he’s a team guy and take less money (and stay off PEDs) I’ll pass on him
He has a great relationship with the McNair's. I can see him going solo since he's already "retired".
to your point from earlier, contracts mean very little. Just cause he had one year left doesn’t mean he was going to stay. The extension got him more money in order to keep him for at least one more year. Had they not, he could have gotten out of his 1 yr left pretty easily, especially if his other job was paying more
