You have a top 10 qb and you trade away the leagues best receiver for a washed up, expensive rb? It is one of the dumbest trades in the history of the world. Said top 10 QB's salary is about to go massively up. They also likely want to pay tunsil and fuller. I don't think it was wise to trade hopkins for so little, or at all. But i think i understand the reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksilver Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Bill O'Brien is Bill Belichick attitude with Matt Millen brains. Pure Gold right there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota thought the Cowboys were taking players they did not need or use, Cowboys just cut them and turned them into draft picks. 1 hour ago, dneveu said: Said top 10 QB's salary is about to go massively up.

I can understand the trade if he got back a 1st and a second without taking on Johnson but this trade makes no sense since Hopkins is currently under the team friendly part of contract for 3 more years. This is a move you make during a year down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I'm still trying to make sense of O'Brien's thinking. How did Bob McNair allow this to happen? If ever there were reason for an owner to meddle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hopkins isn't playing under his current deal - thats part of why obrien did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 4 hours ago, gjv001 said: I believe we made a run for Hopkins. I also feel our offer was better than what he got from Arizona. But O'Brien didn't want to see Hopkins in a Bills uniform lining up against him in next years playoff round. Yeah, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Hopkins ended up moving from the AFC to NFC, and Diggs from the NFC to AFC. arizona gave up pick #40. We gave up #22. Maybe he didn’t view that 18 spot difference as worth potentially having to battle against Hopkins in the playoffs for the foreseeable future. I also read that BOB actually placed value on David Johnson and thinks he’s a great candidate to have a bounce back year for Houston. Hypothetically, What if they wanted Singletary + 2nd from us? Personally, I think I’d take the Diggs trade. Yeah, we may get a better player than Singletary with that #22 pick this year, but it’s not a guarantee. And I like Motor an awful lot. Plus the Bills already spent a year developing him and had Gore mentoring him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minnesota for Herschel Walker deal is still probably the worst as it allowed Dallas to build basically their 90's squad, followed by Mike Ditka's trade up for Ricky Williams. I'd rank this one as 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they will be running out to buy his Jersey. He’s in a no win position w regard to the fan base. I’d be bummed if I were DJ. Hop was their best or second best player ever according to their fans and beloved. 1 hour ago, dneveu said: David Johnson isn't a bad football player. He's overpaid. He just can’t have the impact Hop had. He’ll never measure up to their fan base no matter what he does.

foreboding Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 They are right, you do not trade DHop. He is a beast and a clear game changer. So dumb and illustrates why sharing (GM/Coach) power is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So dumb and illustrates why sharing (GM/Coach) power is important. If you do - you need someone to correctly value him in a trade. I'm not sure why they felt fuller/stills/cobb was more important than hopkins. Very bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
