CommonCents Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) I don't blame him, it would be hard to catch passes from an 18 million dollar QB who has limited game experience.http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000678115/article/deandre-hopkins-skips-texans-camp-stages-holdout Edited July 30, 2016 by Beerball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 GM just got a new deal. QB that's proved nothing got that payday. Big problem if they can't get Brock in rhythm with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 the good old days when people honored their word easy to say this, but only one intimately familiar with the terms can reasonably assert this. A hold out could even have an explicit terms and consequences in the deal, should that path be chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 He's on his rookie deal and missed a whole season. Sorry, this is how it works. I feel no sympathy for him. He can bleed teams after this deal is up, hopefully get his extension next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaSnow Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 the good old days when people honored their word I would agree with you if the contracts were guaranteed. This is a two-way street in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Bruce Smith was, in my opinion, the best Bill ever. But when he would hold out shortly after a new deal, because he was no longer the highest paid defensive player, I would have let him sit until he was ready to report (and his fines were paid). The NFL is NOT other leagues, and I don't like fully guaranteed contracts. Hey, maybe that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 That was one of the most dreadful articles I've ever read. It was unprofessional and full of hyperbole: Playing with a cadre of crappy quarterbacks last season... The 6-foot-1 wideout is a highlight machine. He's the NFL's premier boundary receiver...

Marty McFly Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I mean...the way I hear this he was AT CAMP and just got up and walked out holy ****. lol thats crazy. I wonder what triggered that? I know its a 0.00000000000007% chance of happening but imagine if Rex pulled a rabbit out of his hat and stole Hopkins for us? Our passing game would improve instantly.
