They are the ones that need a #1 wr KC doesn't need a top WR. They didn't pay Hill $$ they spread the ball all over and use their TE3 even 6 minutes ago, Iraq Vet said: D Hop to Buffalo is not happening... just stop... oh really? Pacman who is very good friends with Hopkins thinks that it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Wilson on Twitter is usually putting out contract details before they're announced by others which means agents are most likely his sources. It would be in Hopkins' agent's best interest to use the Bills purported interest as leverage to get other teams to increase their offers. I've seen the Bills used in that manner in the past. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the ones that need a #1 wr I think beane wants this...they know wr2 is an issue. How we have approached wr since beane and mcd has been here is looking for guys whose production could be higher if given more of an opportunity, yes, diggs was even in the category. When you look at targets received Diggs exploded when he got here, same with Bease and John Bown really. We have done that already with our 2 signings, cheaper deals and let's see how they do with more targets. I do think they saw last year that once Stef was taken away we struggled a lot and had to go to the streets. You saw how passionate beane was with the Antonio Brown thing and even last year with edge, he wasn't losing out l. I just getbthe same feeling here... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark92 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Sounds like Beane is in at a certain price. He won't put this franchise in a tough spot. Just have to make it work for Arizona and D. Hop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair points, Beane won't chase something to get boxed out again like Brown and even JD McKissic last year, he gets pissed at stuff like that. I do think Pacman pumping it up helps and I'd even say Von working out with him has to add in. Without that stuff, I'd be a bit more inclined to lean where you are... I also tend to think Beane if he knows he is competing against KC will swing really hard not only to get him, but will up the ante to keep him out of KC... Very valid points Edited March 24, 2023 by Reed83HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we’re really worried about negotiations if the other teams are Vegas, Baltimore etc., especially if Beane knows Hopkins wants to come here.

Iraq Vet Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Ok I will play this game... Shakir and a 3rd 2023, and a 5th 2024 for D hop and 6th this year. We still draft a 1st round WR... We need to get younger at WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopkins on our team is a super bowl, and nobody is going to complain what we had to do to get Hopkins if we win a super bowl. I’m not saying no to do it, but I just don’t know what is physically feasible. I’d have to imagine the Pegula’s are basically telling Beane to do whatever it takes to win a super bowl, especially given Kim’s health status. She likely wants to see this franchise and city win a super bowl while she is still living. I know I would if I was the owner with sufficient cash and I knew my health was not the greatest. As much as I want Hopkins here, you dont give up a first round pick for a player that old. Arizona didnt even give up a first for him. You cant let emotion let you overpay like that. If KC gets him then they get him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 So Bills and Chiefs after DHop. Beane might as well quit if he allows the Chiefs to get DHop at this point. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they did start randomly talking about “what if AZ wants Shakir?” on WGR yesterday with Schopp, Bulldog and Sal.
