BarleyNY Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 2 minutes ago, Beck Water said: I guess my thinking (and I could be off base here) is that AZ can maximize his trade value most easily by trading him to a team that has the cap space to absorb his current contract and negotiate (or not) at their leisure, rather than as a precursor to being able to register the trade. As you allude, that latter position effectively gives Hopkins strong influence as to whether the deal takes place and possibly even an effective veto, despite voiding his no-trade. True, but the issue is that there aren’t many teams with the cap space to fit his current salary. And paying Hopkins that big salary for two years doesn’t really make much sense for those teams because they are rebuilding. For example, Chicago has the cap space, but what’s he going to do for them this year and next? AZ is rebuilding and that’s why they’re dumping him and his contract.

rusty shackleford Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 https://arizonasports.com/story/3480140/arizona-cardinals-hopkins-sells-1957-chevrolet-bel-air-at-barrett-jackson/ Back in January Hopkins sold his '57 Bel Air convertible. I'm going to unfoundedly read into that as he was planning on relocated to Buffalo this season and did not want to devaluate his classic car by having it endure the conditions of a Buffalo winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, that is what people have been whining about. Nobody can know what's been tried. Yoda's quote means who cares what they tried or didn't try? It's not getting done. Another early exit this year and nobody will give a damn about how hard they tried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
