111 receptions for 1,521 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Those are DeAndre Hopkins’ statistics in 2015, his second straight season with over 1,200 yards. Hopkins is scheduled to make just over $2 million dollars in 2016.
Yes, that means that Brian Hoyer will make twice as much money as Hopkins, and fellow pass catcher Garrett Graham and Cecil Shorts III will both make roughly $1 million more than Hopkins. Graham and Shorts combined for just 514 yards (one-third of Hopkins’ total) and yet will combine to cost Houston three times what Hopkins will in 2016.
