Pretty much all of them, in fact, and yet here we all are.

The catch call and the spot were both ridiculous, but the DPI call right afterward was even worse. Don't forget that this was happening at around the same time as Home Run Throw Forward and No Goal.

And I wouldn't close the door on Hopkins just yet. He wants an OBJ-type deal, but most of the teams with the cap space to give it to him aren't necessarily teams that want to blow most of it on a WR who's on the wrong side of 30, has been injured of late, and was suspended recently for PEDs. Given that he is currently without a contract, unless one of those cap-flush teams ends up signing him, his price is going to start coming down.... way down... perhaps to the point where he'll take a lot less for a one-year prove-it deal and hope to leverage it into his final big payday. If he does that, he'll want to play on a team with a lot of exposure and a QB who can make him look good. And then we're right back in the game (as is KC). That's what BBB means when he says he's monitoring the situation. I don't think the odds of it happening are great, but I don't think they're nonexistent either.

I totally agree with this. I don't blame him for reaching for the bag. I blame us for thinking he'd do it differently. Things changed when he got cut. When he was listing the QBs he wanted to play for, he still had a big contract that presumably his new team (with or without the Cardinals' help) would pay for. If he could play under that contract for a contender... why not? But he got cut, so now he's got to figure out another way to get paid. I have to believe that of the teams with the cap room to add him at the salary he wants, the Patriots are the worst possible destination for all of the reasons I've already enumerated PLUS the fact that they play in an absolute hellish division where they're almost guaranteed to finish fourth. God but that felt good to write.

I left a lot of bait out there; it was just a matter of time before someone bit. Still doesn't detract from the main point: he has no chance at a ring if he goes there.

If that happens here, Idk why we're even talking about him. Other teams have the ability to offer more and most likely will.

There could be no better indication that we don't want or need DHop than if he goes to the Patriots. He'd be taking the most possible money to play with the worst possible QB, for a head coach who's washed, for an OC he had problems with before, with a team that didn't make the playoffs last year and didn't show up for the playoffs two years ago. That's not a guy you want.

Then again... that's prime advertising space. Maybe they could hang banners from the rafters of the roof that supposedly covers 65% of the stands.

If y'all already blew your free Peacock trial on something else, that's on y'all. Anyway, I'm not going to worry too much about it. I guarantee I'll find some way to watch. I always do. But I do think professional sports may be making a mistake putting so much on subscription streaming services.

But he's a fine young man nonetheless.

There's always going to be that one RB who looks like a 1,000-yard rusher but won't make a team because he can't block and might get his QB killed. I know nothing about Mims, but we're gonna have at least one of those guys in camp every year.

Took him pretty high according to his overall ranking. Seems like a possible Gabe replacement IF he develops.

Jinxed it

People crapping on this new guy saying he isn’t this, he isn’t that… well if he was he wouldn’t be available at the end of the third round.

Is he... sitting on the can?

Reminds me of what Chuck Dickerson used to say. "Double ax-handled ass."

LOL the Cowboys went for TE just now

Oh boy.

I'm probably showing my age, but you need an E ticket to ride the TSA line there. Terrible airport.

I mean, we can stop the thread right here, guys.

October 16, 1977... Bills 3, Falcons 0. I think I should be glad I missed that one.

Can someone just take this post down before we get another 30 pages of people who haven't read the entire thread?

I'm not sure why players wouldn't want to restructure if it means more money up front. I guess it also means, with the extra years, that the team theoretically can control them until their value on the open market isn't what the player wants it to be. But most players (a) like more money up front and (b) are confident enough to bet on themselves.

Among other things.
