It's amazing that people don't see a problem giving up draft picks and paying a guy that'll be 31 when he;
Missed multiple games with a hamstring injury in 2021
Blew out his knee just a few games after he got back from the hamstring injury
Missed the first 6 games of 2022 because he was steroid boy
****ed up that same knee that he blew out in 2021 and missed the final 2 games of the season.
This happens literally all the time in the NFL. These guys bodies break down and it's clear as day that is what is happening with Hopkins.
You guys want to bring up all these guys that had good careers after turning 30 and you know what's different between those guys and Hopkins? Those guys didn't get injured. They all stayed healthy.
Jerry Rice - missed almost the entire season at age 35, but no injury history outside of that.
Tim Brown - only injuries were in his 2nd season
Jimmy Smith - missed 4 games in one season, but healthy in all the others
Charlie Joiner - missed 7 games at age 35. Healthy in the rest.
Irving Fryar - healthy
Terrell Owens - missed 9 games at age 32, but pretty much healthy all other years.
Rod Smith - Healthy
Marvin Harrison - missed 11 games at age 35 and retired after the next season, but pretty much healthy.
Steve Smith - missed 9 games at age 36 and retired next year, but pretty much healthy.
Tony Gonzalez - healthiest mother****er known to man
That's the top 10 in receiving yards after age 30. I went through 25 of them and none of them had anywhere close to the amount of injuries and games missed as DHop. What's more likely is that he's going to go the route of Julio Jones, Michael Thomas, AJ Green, T.Y. Hilton, Dez Bryant, Antonio Brown. All guys that were top 10 WR at one point, but got hurt and/or age caught up to them and they sucked right around 30.
