Having Diggs and Hopkins on the same team has me so pumped, that I’m already fantasizing offensive domination. Hopkins has never played besides an elite WR, he is so used to being doubled. I bet he is salivating at the chance to get a lot of 1 on 1 matchups with Allen being his QB just icing. 

He might be a Bills fan like me, but the guys is definitely more connected being a scout. I’m sure he has way more information that I’m privy to, but anyways lets all just soak in the moment. If this happens, Diggs and Hopkins is going to be the best show in the NFL. 

Right…. But just because he’s more connected doesn’t mean he has any real info other than what others have already said.  He didn’t get any first hand info- so this is meaningless- it’s just a connected dudes opinion based off other people info

Also can’t underestimate having Gabe Davis as a #3. He should eat that up!

 

This better happen…

I’m absolutely fine with Davis being a 3, but he sure proved to us that he is not ready for the #2.  I honestly don’t know how you game plan for Diggs/Hopkins/Davis.

I want Hopkins as much as anybody, BUT, maybe even more of importance here is, by apparently being interested in Hopkins, it shows Beane is not satisfied with the WR room. If not Hopkins, maybe another WR?  Jeudy, OBJ, etc.

If the compensation is similar or slightly better than what Dallas have for Cooks; cool. 
If the compensation is a decent salary, a decent draft pick and a core player; cool… but they have to get to the dance. 
 

Completing the latter of the two and not making it to the Super Bowl in 2 years or consecutive AFC Championships (where they don’t get run over and remain competitive in) would be an absolute failure.

I think my top preference is still Jeudy.

 

DHop has the better body of work, obviously. But is much older and more expensive. Where Jeudy isnt even entering his prime yet. We'll be lucky to get 2 full years out of Hopkins, but Jeudy could be here for 4-6 more (with an extension).

 

I think in order of preference:

 

1. Jeudy

2. Hopkins

3. OBJ


Ditto.

It’s why I’m officially excited. F5 baby! Let’s power up the train horns and blare it across the city. 

He wouldn’t post this update if his sources weren’t aligned. It’s a great sign. 


you gunna be disappointed I think…

 

The moves the Bills actually make come out of nowhere …they dont leak…

 

How often do one of these “ sources say Bills have strong interest ” stories eventuate ?

If this thread hits 200 pages, all participants will be entered to win their choice of an authentic, game worn Zach Ertz or Antonio Brown Bills jersey.

No JJ Watt jersey ?

Biggest concern is that if they are in on Hopkins and don’t pull it off that they settle for OBJ’s high priced demands. 

 

He's already said he isn't expecting 20. And if Mecole Hardman only got 6.5, he's eventually going to have to settle for a lot less than he wants or simply not play. He's not getting a high price.

I used to think that until Von Miller happened. The big splashes are almost impossible to keep secret.

This does remind me of...it had to be 10 or so years ago when the Bills were in on some wr from maybe the eagles. Everyone was going nuts and I don't recall that the dude was even that great. Do you (or anyone) recall who I may be referring to?

 Von Miller happened in a matter of hours from the initial leak..

I agree with your order of preference but I'm not going to split hairs. I've said all along we need to acquire one of those WRs or the offseason is a failure. I won't complain if Hopkins is their choice. My guess is Beane really doesn't want to part with that 1st rounder. It appears that Hopkins can be had for relatively low-value draft capital. In that context I can understand it.

I think you're referring to Bryant Johnson from the Cardinals. He was no better than Zay Jones. Goes to show, what a long way we've come.

I don’t think he’s getting close to Hardman. Not at all. 
Was ball parking the $4.25m he got on the one year deal from LA. He will want more than Berrios’ $3.5m/1yr. Without hesitation. That to me is rather high. He’s relatively fresh off his knee injury and really just looked malcontent the majority of his last 2 years of football prior to his LA move… one where he was playing with his boys in Landry & Baker.

3. OBJ

1. Jeudy - who I would trade a 2nd rounder

2. 1st round wr

3. 2nd round wr

 

 

Hopkins $$$ is a big no for me, and would be surprised if Beane is doing anything but due diligence

I think the Cardinals are willing to eat half his salary to get this done. That makes it easier and lowers the cap hit

Beane can't let Hopkins go to the Chiefs. It's as simple as that. Even if it's an overpay, even if borrowing against the future, you can't let him get to KC.

That’s about where I’m at too. You can’t let him get to kc

There was a lot of hype and speculation leading up to the signing. Maybe not as much as Hopkins, but enough to breakout the F5 talk and excitement. 


Not really … like I said .. a few hours ..

 

What are we up to on the this.. Day 4?

 

that’s a lot of hype for a few second clip of Buffalo Soldier and an “unnamed sources” story from Daniel Jeremiah that everyone else picked up on ..

Agree… but also can you imagine the numbers that Allen and this offense can put up with Diggs, Hopkins, Davis, Knox, Cook, Harris, and a better O-line than last season?!?!  
 

Would be our best offense since… ever.
