Texans GM Rick Smith 'absolutely intent' on re-signing WR DeAndre Hopkins

INDIANAPOLIS -- Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith said the team wants to sign wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to a contract extension, but said he didn't know when it would get done.

Hopkins, who just finished his fourth NFL season, has one more year on his rookie contract after Houston exercised its fifth-year option last offseason. Previously, the Texans had extended each of their first-round picks drafted under the current collective bargaining agreement before or during the fourth year of their deals.

"Our goal is to keep all of our good, young players, and DeAndre is a good, young player," Smith said.
