While I totally agree he wants a new deal it was also reported that Hopkins is willing to play on those two years and that its mainly about winning not all about money.
I think his new agent will go looking for interested WIN NOW teams with the asking price of what the Cards want as the main objective. Contract will probably be secondary.

AZ radio can say whatever they want. However, what came out of DHop's mouth is that he has an agent so he doesn't get the short end of the stick this time. I would tend to pay attention to what the player is saying rather than some knucklehead on the radio.
If 20 million dollars is taking the short end of the stick to him. Oh my... what is the middle?
What you think the agent will be looking for is vastly different than what any agent is hired to do. They are hired to maximize their clients earnings. An agent has zero interest to make team friendly deals. That is only on the player.
And guess what that player is saying with the words out of his mouth? 20 million is the short end of the stick.
