For that amount of money you could get Ben Jones who is a much better center and much higher PFF or you could spend a little more (10 million per year) and get a pro bowl center in Ryan Jensen. Why pay over 7 million for a not so good center with a regular season and post season PFF in the 50s when for close to the same amount of money you could upgrade the center position with Jones or Jensen?
In all fairness Hopkins was recovering from a serious knee injury. He used to be a better run blocker pre injury, I didn't see anything especially in the superbowl of returning to that level. He isn't horrible but I feel he really limits us on 3rd and 2 or less
