QCity Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 3 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: imagine BOB having a bad relationship with someone oh wait I’m sure it’s never him that’s the problem It's okay to move someone if their is conflict or turmoil, but you have to get max value for a superstar player like this. Aside from the poor return, the fact that this trade didn't leak and nobody saw it coming is a great indicator that all teams weren't in on this. I mean, Johnson has been a backup caliber RB the past 2 seasons with injury concerns before that, and he turns 29 this year. Hopkins puts up Probowl numbers with scrubs like Mallett and Osweiler. Houston fans should be livid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I don't get this trade...Houston already had a decent 1-2 punch with Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson...so they trade one of the best WR's who is only 26 for another RB who has never been the same after coming off a serious injury and is at a position that you can get good production out of from just about anywhere? This is mind boggling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, we don’t have all the details, but I find it hard to believe he didn’t want to trade him to the Bills. We'll never know but I find it hard to believe Beane and every other GM with a WR need and cap could be that dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't, I used that word. That kind of conservatism would most definitely be dumb, IMO. There has to be something else here for this to make sense and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it being Johnson as the factor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyC81 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 4 hours ago, BuffAlone said: what are the terms? I mean, as of now Houston don't have a top 50 pick in the draft for the next 2 years. This is a deep class but dang! How will they replace that production?? They’ve struggled to have another WR to play consistently enough to avoid Hopkins being doubled and triple-teamed. Fuller is always injured and is pretty much just a one dimensional deep threat. So, did Beane just assume it would cost too much to get Hopkins. Maybe he could’ve got him for a 1st and Yeldon.

How can this be the best offer that Houston could get for Hopkins?

billsfan89 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I really wish the Bills traded pick 22 for him. Immediately would provide that stable WR1 for the next 3-4 seasons.

BigBillsFan Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It was rumored he was on the trading block. The very fact our PR department didn't show they put up a 1st for him shows Beane clearly meant what he said that he didn't believe in #1 WRs. This and Hooper.

YoloinOhio Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 The Eagles also talked to the Texans but decided against trading for Hopkins, based both on what the Texans were asking for and what Hopkins wanted in a new contract, Adam Schefter said on 97.5 The Fanatic.... What the Texans got for Hopkins seems shockingly minuscule: Houston got running back David Johnson (who was a candidate to get cut by the Cardinals), plus a second-round draft pick and an exchange of fourth-round picks. It’s surprising that the Cardinals only had to give that up for Hopkins — and surprising that the Eagles and other teams didn’t offer the Texans more to secure Hopkins’ services. Unless, of course, Hopkins is making contractual demands that teams simply can’t justify paying. We know that Hopkins and the Cardinals will renegotiate his contract, but we don’t know exactly what Hopkins is demanding, or whether he has privately told teams that he won’t show up without a new deal.
