Again, I'm assuming that this extension opens a little cap space. Locking up quality players for a few years while clearing some space for 2023....... smells like Hopkins to me. (but my assumption might be wrong)

A follow up tweet says that it does.

Seems like a pretty fantastic deal. He has turned into a nice young LB and that is very cheap for what he can bring.

I wonder if the hold up on the Hopkins deal has always been about clearing cap space in these (and other?) deals.

Possibly. Lots of reporting has said Hopkins is waiting until just before camp to make his decision. He probably snaps at a godfather offer, though.

It makes me so happy when I heard this news.

Sounds like Bentley is having a good camp. I wonder if the addition of Mapu and the improvement of Peppers will limit the amount of times we have to see Bentley in coverage.
