The deal includes $49 million of guaranteed money, per Schefter. It is the largest amount of guaranteed money for a wide receiver in NFL history.

Hopkins, 25, is entering his fifth NFL season, all with Houston, and has amassed 4,487 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns on 317 catches in 64 career games.

His lone Pro Bowl season came in 2015 when Hopkins posted career-best totals of 111 catches, 1,521 yards and 11 touchdowns. Last season, Hopkins made 78 catches for 954 yards and four scores over 16 games.
