- Outlets differ on the timing of the payout, with Spotrac citing 2026 compensation and The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov describing it as a 2027 signing bonus.
- Hollins missed the final two regular-season games with a lacerated spleen, then returned to log 2 catches for 51 yards in the AFC Championship and 4 for 78 yards with a touchdown in the Super Bowl.
- In 2025 the 32-year-old posted 46 receptions for 550 yards and two touchdowns, serving as a steady option in an offense led by rookie quarterback Drake Maye.
- Hollins is entering the final season of a two-year, $8.4 million contract and is set to earn a $4.3 million base salary in 2026 with up to $1 million in incentives before reaching free agency in 2027.
