Don't want to speak about other teams property to avoid punishment I actually feel better after rewatching that video. I thought Beane said "we've only done 1% of what's reported" what he said was "sometimes" "we have done 1% of what's reported." Which means he's speaking in general with any player, not just Hopkins. Now nothing in that video makes me think we still won't keep trying. I just have a hard time believing ALL that interest was something that was just a phone call. All the people that reported it and made it definitive that we are interested, that stuff doesn't just come out of nowhere. We will see what happens Edited March 29, 2023 by Buffalo03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 19-14 It’s kind of interesting to look at Hill’s contract https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/tyreek-hill-19119/ Of his $120M/4 year, only $72M is guaranteed. In terms of cap hit, he cost Miami $6.5M last season, $12.83M this season, and $31M next season after which they could trade him and take a $22M cap hit.if they so choose. It kind of seems as though the Chiefs could have come up with something that would work for them if they wanted it to. I think they felt their offense leaning on Hill and Kelce had been “solved” a bit, and it was time for re-work.

He thought Davis would clean up his drop rate and therefore be a perfectly good #2, so it's understandable. He was, sadly, wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like in quite a bit as a player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills management has been out to lunch for 3 years. One year okay, at some point it becomes an enormous failing and a fire-able offense. Gabe showed a lot of promise in 2021 playoffs, so everyone thought we had a bonafide #2 on the roster. It wasn;t till mid season 2022 that we started to realize Gabe wasn't progressing from how he left 2021 So I wouldn't have been looking for a "stud WR" at that point either. In fact we were looking for a speed burner or a slot WR last season not a bonafide 1b as I would call it. Beane gets a pass on not bringing in a bonafide 1b before 2022. Although I though he short armed the #2 TE position last offseason and we still could use an upgrade there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 If he ends up staying I’d like to know if not trading Oliver was the reason we didn’t do this trade. Or a major reason why. This team is going to need peak Josh Allen again come playoff time - and I shudder thinking about what happens if Diggs misses time. Couldn’t get that in 2022 because his elbow was hurt and we had a rookie OC. Allen can still win us games and Dorsey could make a huge leap, but we’d look like the 2022 Chargers. Who at least got Keenan back for the stretch run. All positions need to be prepared for hits to depth and it’s criminal we’ve prioritized WR depth the least since acquiring Diggs. I think we’ve upgraded WRs 5-7 but that’s it currently. I still don’t feel confident with the slot. Sherfield is an upgrade over Kumerow - I forgot Sherfield dropped that TD in the playoff game. I know - 75 yard TD vs SF. He is what he is. If Hopkins doesn’t happen I want to target a slot guy. A legit one. Even if it’s the draft it appears the best WR prospects seem to be slot guys.
