Will DeAndre Hopkins be available this offseason?

Actually Davis is an average if not above average #2. Not many teams have a complimentary receiver like the Bengals and Dolphins. 
 

With that said would I love to add Nuk and get in that conversation with the Bengals and Dolphins? Yes, very much yes. 

I think someone earlier in the thread posted he was rated #100 WR which is a low #3.

Whoever leaked this is trying to compare a 26-year old RB whose 3 best seasons averaged 2,080 yards and 15 TDs per against a 30-year old WR whose 3 best years averaged 1,486 yards and 9TDs? And you can't use CMC injuries as an excuse that it evens things out, when DHop has missed 15 games over the last two years due to injury/suspension (despite being healthy for most of his career prior---but he is also 30 now).

 

No doubt these are both great players, and I would love to have DHop on the Bills, if it works out (at the right price)...but this comparison is beyond ridiculous. DHop is not worth the same as CMC in trade value...and no one is buying that.

That quote isn't exactly right. He posts the actual video in the tweet below:

 

Jeremy Fowler says Arizona is asking for "a 2nd round pick and more." He uses the McCaffrey trade as an example, he does not say Arizona wants a 2nd and a 3rd. So this isn't new information. The report all along has been that Hopkins is available for a 2nd rounder plus a conditional pick.

 

As I said earlier if Beane is playing a game of chicken and waiting until Arizona drops their asking price closer to the draft, that's fine. But if he ultimately has to lose the game of chicken to acquire a true WR2 then he should just do it. A brief history of Bills 2nd round picks in the McDermott era:

 

James Cook

Boogie Basham

AJ Epenesa

Cody Ford

Zay Jones

Dion Dawkins

 

Dawkins is the only player on that list where you would take his career with the Bills over two years of DeAndre Hopkins.

 

This hasn't been said enough - does everyone realize Gabe Davis cost us the #1 seed last year? He dropped a TD in the Dolphins loss. He dropped that ridiculous 70 yard pass on 4th and 21 in the Jets loss which at the very least put us into position to tie the game. And then against the Bengals in the playoffs when we still had a fighting chance he dropped a 3rd down deep throw which effectively ended the game for us. All of that plus he had trouble separating most of the year.

 

So just know if you don't want the Bills to give up a 2nd for Hopkins, you're signing up for another year of that. I don't get it.

Yep, new GM is asking for the moon. If this gets done at all, it won't be soon


actually if you listen to the video Fowler states “talking to other teams  around the league they do expect something to shake out with a Hopkins trade with Arizona in the near future

 

 

Based on what Fowler said in the video clip, my guess is other teams believe Arizona is just posturing and will soon accept the current best offer

With the owners meetings convening in Arizona, it would make sense that this might get done in the next couple of days with everyone together out there.

I blame Josh for not having the #1 seed. Couldn't throw a ball to a WIDE OPEN McKenzie in the Miami game, the fumble in the end zone against Minny and the stupid int's in the red zone. I blame Dorsey for not forcing Josh to use the short game and take what was available. I blame Frazier for not playing more press. I blame injuries, one heck of a challenging year inside and outside of football. 

 

 There's a lot of blame to go around, but everyone just dumps on Davis. Did he drop passes he should have caught? Sure. But it wasn't all his fault for where we ended.

agreed. Hopefully for us. A 4th and a 5th in different drafts seems like a fair compromise

I agree. but wait.. someone will chime in and take 1 dr's words that JA could chuck the ball 60 yards down the field easier than a 3 yard pass...

 So your assuming Cook is a nobody?   sorry but can't agree with you on that one

Probably. I almost put it in another thread about unpopular opinions. I probably should have put a PS. In there also stating he is the reason we won other games, but probably would have been ignored with the rest of it.😂
