It's going to be a 5 team trade where transactions will occur through the first 2 months of the season and traded to a new team every two weeks. At the November 1st deadline, the team he had the most touchdowns with will retain/regain his rights for the remainder of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein's Dog Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 1 hour ago, KDIGGZ said: If it's a Rd 1 pick swap I doubt the Bills would do this until they are on the clock. They probably have so many round 1 guys and if they are gone then this is more palpable I agree, they may have eyes on Addison but if he doesn't make it within range, then go the DHop route (although I prefer the DHop route). I wonder if they would unleash the Oliver transaction at the same time. I believe the FO would need to move Oliver to make finances work for DHop, even if AZ eats a portion of the $19M. And the available DLs at 27 might make a difference between doing the slide down to 34 method or just giving an outright 3rd rounder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't put much into any of the info. The Cardinals may have zero strong interest. Or they may well only have 1 strongly interested team.....so they are leaking false info to try to get more from that team. The teams that are being used with false info don't care because they all have a vested interest in that acquiring team paying more. So if the Ravens are the team that really wants him.......leaking that their AFC rivals Bills and Chiefs might be close may help force their hand a bit. And those teams don't mind a good AFC team losing a good draft pick. So it's worth a shot. As a Yankees fan I've seen that game used for years in the offseason.

Today is not the day to make a trade, since you have no idea who might fall to you. We might have a bunch of Bills fans staying up late to see……the Bills not making a pick.

A young guy who will be here 4-5 years on the (relative) cheap? They may have a handful of guys they LOVE, but don’t expect them to fall to them. I’m all for a player of Hopkin’s ability and what he could do for us. I just think this is one of those games of chicken and we’ll have to wait and see.

BillsSbSoon Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) If the rumored pick swap with us is even true, ravens could offer 22 as part of their swap and the cardinals probably take that deal. They’re desperate to get weapons around lamar. 22>27.

daz28 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 You'd think if Dee wanted to go to the Bills, and no one else blew the Cards socks off, they'd do him a solid. It would be better than the rep hit for sending their star player somewhere he doesn't want to be over 30 slots. I think if the Bills really want him, then there's a good chance this happens.

Pretty sure he needs to have his contract reworked before the trade by AZ so he fits under the cap (or AZ eats some of it). I think you can't take on a cap hit that puts you over and then try to rework it. Edited April 26, 2023 by The Wiz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
