Report: Hopkins will report to camp despite lack of new deal

This time last year, DeAndre Hopkins stayed away from training camp for a solitary day in order to get the Houston Texans to the negotiating table for a new contract.

With the Texans set to report to this season's camp Monday, Hopkins won't try the same tactic and will report with the rest of his teammates, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter, despite the receiver still lacking the new long-term contract he desires.

Hopkins is entering the final year of his rookie deal and is set to earn $7.915 million. Texans general manager Rick Smith said in March that his team is "absolutely intent" on locking up their key offensive weapon for the foreseeable future.

Despite a relatively forgettable 2016 in which he fell 46 yards short of a 1,000-yard season, Hopkins remains one of the top wideouts in the game, and the Texans will likely have to pay him as such if they want to avoid souring their relationship once again.
