The Arizona Cardinals have signed receiver DeAndre Hopkins to a two-year extension worth $54.5 million, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The $27.25 million per year is the highest annual salary in league history for a non-quarterback. The deal includes $42.75 million in guarantees.
This adds to the three years left on his current contract, giving him $94 million over the next five years for an average of $18.8 per year, via ESPN's Adam Schefter. He is now signed through the 2024 season.
Arizona acquired Hopkins this offseason in a trade with the Houston Texans, also receiving a fourth-round pick, in exchange for David Johnson, a second-round pick in 2020 and a fourth-round pick in 2021.
