For any of you who thought the Bills were actually building a stadium in Dunkirk, here’s the latest information from an NFL “insider.”

 

FWIW this guy is making ***** up and getting the hopes up of Bills fans.  it’s gonna be glorious when the deal doesn’t go down
 

 

He’s reading this board then making up crap.  I’m surprised he hasn’t worked in Davis and Oliver yet.

What about a benford for hop trade? We still have Elam tre Dane and taron.

It sounds like you like to prove someone wrong more than you like winning if that’s the case. We should all hope that goes down. That’s exactly the value that should be given to Hopkins.

Winning?  Hopkins eats cap, gets hurt, gets suspended for PEDS and has never won anything.

[GreggTX]

I'm not holding my breath. He'd probably like a trade to KC even more and now that AR is headed to NY, I'm guessing the Jets are back in consideration.

I don’t know if he’s reading this board but he’s following the coverage and guessing.  It’s funny when that he champions two of his “predictions”

 

1. David Martin signing despite the fact it was reported he visited Buffalo on a FA trip.  How hard is it to guess that he would sign.

 

2. AJ Klein signing.  He said the Bills would address the LB situation.  Klein was signed in a move predicted by other media already (Joe B) and he takes a victory lap.   Not really sure that’s addressing the LB situation either

Arizona is looking at a reset/rebuild.  They want draft picks…not players.  Besides what would Benford command?  A 5th round draft pick?

If I had to bet anything I valued, I'd guess that fella is a fraud. However, I don't think all the smoke out there is fake news bouncing around an echo chamber. I suspect the Bills are a real possible destination for Hopkins.

PacMan, who likely is talking directly with DHop, is saying something could go down as early as tonight.

You like to make definitive pronouncements without argument or explanation. It's kind of annoying. If you're guessing, say so. If you think you have a basis for that judgment, explain your warrant.

I’ve figured it would be KC all along. Lost JuJu, etc and KC is a better run franchise. Meanwhile, beane will sit on his hands and let them win another SB all because he won’t be willing to give up a 3rd rounder in a crappy draft. Can’t wait until we waste a pick on Bryan Bresee and then draft another Bernard in the 3rd round with the pick he won’t give up. We are in a SB window and Beane doesn’t act like it.

Not being able to make the massive salary work with our almost entirely filled cap does not equal "sit on his hands".  Classic short-sighted NFL fan commentary. As if you or I EVER have any idea how hard they try to make certain things happen.

Maybe where he's at it's like this.

I think folks surmise that if the trade talk has any legitimate basis, then a financial path to make it work has been figured out. I agree on the surface it looks difficult, but I don't conclude from that that it is impossible. I agree that it is irrational to suppose that if it doesn't work out it means Beane is clueless or not diligently pursuing every available option to better the team.

[jahnyc]

At least DHop seems to want to play for the Bills.  No idea if this happens, but the Bills have come a long way and are now a desired team to play for.

[Pabstblueribbon]

If he goes to KC, can we all just agree to never speak of this 220+ page thread again?

I still believe we have a shot at Ertz!

He’s gonna be a bill. Beane going all in

It isn’t impossible.  The question is whether the cap mess you have to create to fit a 31 y.o., recently injured, recently suspended receiver under the cap is the right move.  I don’t think it is, even if they could get him for a 4th or later.

It might not be. I am unclear if AZ can be induced to eat some salary given they would lose 8M if they simply end up having to cut him. That could ameliorate some of the cap mess and make a trade more appealing.
