Right now, with the holes and upgrades we need across the board, we can't afford to use such a premium asset on a guy who would be no higher than Option 3 this year and next year. As for taking a guy who would groom for 2-3 years, again, that's not someone you take in the 1st Round. You don't want to be using up the majority of your inexpensive Rookie contract simply learning. And a 1st Round pick expects to play. There have been 2nd Round WR's who have demanded trades because they weren't being utilized enough. If you're grooming a guy behind Diggs & Hopkins, you do that in the mid rounds. And if/when one leaves, you draft someone in the 1st then. Not now. Basically, if we're drafting a WR in the 1st, we won't be trading for a Hopkins. If we trade for Hopkins, we won't be drafting someone in the 1st. There's just no way. Not to be that guy, but that isn't a significant development to anyone but fans. Beane isn't going to decide he can do it if he feels it's untenable it up his offer because Hopkins likes us. And if he's been in on trade discussions as much as fans would like to believe - he surely already knew this. While it's nice Von is always looking to improve the team, at the same time he's just really complicating things. I doubt Von has been read in on the team's financials, but Beane is fully aware of what is doable and what is not. Even if it is doable, Beane will probably not do anything if he's anticipating AZ is going to release DHop. What comes out of the draft can also impact what does or does not happen there.

About this trade, Von says he "feels great and positive that it will be ready to go"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for taking a guy who would groom for 2-3 years, again, that's not someone you take in the 1st Round at the WR position. Teams barely do that for even a QB these days.

If we trade for Hopkins, we won't be drafting someone in the 1st. There's just no way. Not to be that guy, but that isn't a significant development to anyone but fans. Beane isn't going to all of a sudden decide he can do it if he feels it's untenable and up his offer just because Hopkins likes us and he made it public. And if he's been in on trade discussions as much as fans would like to believe - he surely already knew this anyways. True but it could push Hop to rework his contract w Arizona if we had a trade in place so he can fit under the cap. That O would be awesome.

Alright, skeptics, this does seem to be a lot more than an enigmatic, obscure Instagram post. Don't know if it will happen, but it's not just smoke, it's an actual smoke signal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellDopeland Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 This thread has a chance to surpass the Ertz or Mario Williams topics of yesteryear. I doubt it approaches the "Donahoe is the Son of Satan- Drinks babies' blood" thread however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 How does it not happen now? AZ will pick up a portion of his salary and Beane will kick the can down the road some and convert some of his base to a signing bonus. (I think that's how the cap works, I really don't know) The hard part is afterward. The pressure is truly on then. For everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
