Yeah, GTFO here with that. He agreed to take these bonuses knowing full well it would eventually hamstring the Cardinals but put cash in his pocket now in exchange for not having increased salaries later. IF (big if) these rumors are true, this is a pretty obvious double dip sort of scenario he's chasing.

And even if he temporarily rescinds those demands - this ain't his first rodeo. He's been a lot like Diggs and Rogers in that he's simply never happy and he's pretty content becoming toxic if things aren't exactly as he wants them to be.

Now if they are just rumors and/or an effort to stay the hell out of NE, that's different. But these guys that are ALWAYS needing their deals re-done are nothing but trouble over any meaningful timeline.
According to Hopkins representatives, they aren't looking at bank-breaking money. I don't think there's anything to the rumors that he wants well over $25M AAV.
