Hopkins, 27, has been an All-Pro receiver each of the past three seasons. He has averaged more than 1,200 receiving yards and seven touchdowns per season in his seven-year career.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Hopkins — who is under contract for three more seasons — wanted a new deal, which Arizona can provide.
Johnson, 28, was an All-Pro running back in 2016 and has collected 10 or more touchdowns in three of his five seasons. But he has dealt with some injuries along the way, including an ankle injury that forced him to miss three games and receive only 130 touches in 2019.
