Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This DeAndre Hopkins deal represents an absolute steal for whatever team lands him, earning a stellar A CVI despite his current free agent status. At just $800K annually, acquiring a receiver of Hopkins' caliber — even in a rotational role — provides exceptional value that's nearly impossible to find in today's inflated market. While the 32-year-old wideout may no longer be the elite, All-Pro force who dominated with Arizona and Houston, his veteran savvy and proven hands still offer far more production potential than most players available at this price point. The minimal financial commitment essentially makes this a risk-free gamble with significant upside, as Hopkins could easily outperform his rotational projection if deployed correctly in the right offensive system. Any contending team that secures Hopkins at this number is getting a former franchise-caliber talent at replacement-level money — the kind of shrewd roster building that can make the difference in tight playoff races.

Performance Analysis

DeAndre Hopkins earns a D as a free agent wide receiver, a future Hall of Famer whose production has finally begun to reflect his age. Hopkins was one of the most dominant receivers in NFL history during his prime — his catch radius and contested-catch ability were unmatched for years. But the separation ability has eroded, and the speed that was never his strongest attribute has declined further. He can still win 50-50 balls, but those situations are less frequent when you cannot get open. Hopkins's resume is legendary, and he may still catch on somewhere, but the player who terrorized the league for a decade is no longer the one on the field.
