DeAndre Hopkins Cap Hit
Hopkins will carry a cap hit of $30,750,000 in 2023 and $26,215,000 in 2024. Additionally, he has a dead cap hit of $22,600,000 in 2023 and $11,300,000 in 2024.
It was reported this offseason that Hopkins’ suspension in 2022 voided the no-trade clause in his contract.
If traded, his cap hits for his new team would be $19.45 million in 2023 and $14.915 million in 2024.

No one knows how we can afford it. I've seen speculation that Chris Jones', Travis', and MVS' deals can all be restructured to come up with the needed $$$. But no one inside the organization has said anything like that is in the works.
But we do know that Veach can manipulate the cap like no other, so personally not concerned about the money. If we want him that bad, Veach will find a way to get the money. And we know that Veach has shown some interest in DHop.
He showed that he was very interested in getting AJ Brown last season, and look what he's getting. In fact, since Sammy's departure, Veach has made multiple attempts at replacing him with another top-30 prototypical WR, so my guess is that he has a solid plan on how to pay the guy by now. So how DHop gets paid isn't a huge concern for me at least. Veach knows what he's doing.
