Deadstroke Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Many pages of conjecture on the Hopkins romance, and I, for one, think he'd be great for us. Seriously, what defense could possibly cover all the speed and all-around weapons that we'd have? But what do we do if the Hopkins trade falls through? We really really should have a fallback plan/target. What are realistic options? 3 1 Quote

As an aside it’s liars season so not buying anything coming out of the mouths of anyone, not even Beane. I have no idea, but him toning down the hype gets him breathing room. Supposedly KC is in the hunt on Hopkins as well. KC though has even less cap space than us with $6 mil. Vs. our $10.6. I know they can always go to the well well of restructure to signing bonus on either team. I like the Hopkins idea even more that obj, but we’ll see. I don’t worry about things I can’t control. It’s a waste of energy. 1 1 Quote

But can he block? Expand He's not a great blocker, but I believe he could develop into a real offensive threat. The best blocking TE is Darnell Washington, but he is at best an adequate red zone receiving threat. Maybe Mike Evans is the answer to your question. Quote

If Dhop does come then we better not lose more than a 3rd and they need to eat some salary. If not there's always OBJ or maybe someone promising falls to 27? I guarantee you Beane will land someone to slot between Diggs & Gabe. Quote
