Id much rather roll with the young cheap guys, keep the cap space, and keep the draft pick.
People seem to be super impressed with his play last year, but when you dig into the circumstances you can see when he was playing he was about the only option and was force fed the ball. If you put a healthy JJSS, MVS, or Hardman on that team anyone of them go for 1100+ yds and Hopkins has probably half of the yards he had last year. That team was barren of talent.

I wouldn't say he was the only option. Marquise Brown who they traded a 1st round pick for had over 100 targets and 700+ yards. Thats not nothing.
