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.

Past his prime at 31? Are you aware that Travis is
34???? Surprised you haven't sent him to the glue factory already.
And draft capital/cap space doesn't mean shit on the field. Players win championships, not holding onto draft capital or being more frugal than another team with the cap. We need some real talent at WR, not a WR that saves cap space.
Lol, talk about skewing things beyond recognition.
You think JJSS/MVS/Hardman are on the same level as Deandre Hopkins? What the **** are you smoking? You should stop smoking it right now; your brain has rotted out of your head.
DHop managed nearly the same yards as JJSS in half the games, and while JSS had the best QB to ever play throwing cupcakes to him and had to be schemed open, DHop had four QBs passing to him, not one of which was rated higher than 19th last season, and had to get himself open every time. JJSS can't beat press man or go deep, so he'd never have achieved half of what Deandre did in 2022.
And yeah, DHop was the primary target, everyone knew it, and yet they couldn't stop him. Who do we know that performs like that, I wonder? rhymes with Bravis, I think.
Oh, and the forcefeeding thing; DHop averaged about 8-9 targets/game. Hardly what anyone would call forcefeeding.
