Hopkins may have misread the market. It’s softer than we thought. There’s no DHop world tour right now. He probably has one or two decent offers, but my guess is nothing like he thought. The leak about the Bills suggests they’re the clubhouse leader and they want Hopkins to make a decision so that their offer isn’t subject to a lengthy shopping process.

And Shorter should push Davis for snaps and playing time. Shorter did nothing in college, to think he’s going to make some massive leap this year and actually see the field on O is wishful thinking at best. I like the physical potential, but he better bring it on ST’s to even sniff the roster. Harty has proven nothing yet, I don’t have huge expectations, I’m hopeful he’s going to be something. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defensive leader going to Chicago and replacing him with a rookie or expanding the role of AJ Klein is a big downgrade. oh they got a new TE2? Usually takes those guys a year or two to develop this is intentionally obtuse kincaid is a TE by name only, Beane literally said it himself on Embedded you're hand wringing about Singletary to Harris, and didnt want to bring up OL? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 21 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: No, this is again inaccurate. He has a 2 year contract for one. 2nd, teams didn’t just magically have cap space at the start of the offseason, in fact in many cases, especially the ones most interested in him, did not and were actually over the cap. Buffalo for example early in the off-season had to make moves and restructure deals just to get under the cap, let alone to sign other inexpensive free agents and our rookie class. Other teams did the same, even cut or let go of good players to get under. Sorry, that is not at all what I said. It is the narrative you’re trying create with the inaccurate statements above, but it’s not at all what I am saying nor is it an accurate reflection of the majority of the views on him across the NFL. Just because teams can’t afford his contract does not mean they view him as a low end WR1. That’s just a conclusion you want to get to, but that’s not reflective of how the business of the NFL is conducted. First, given his age and cost, he only makes sense for contending teams, that immediately crosses a majority of teams off as a landing spot. Of those teams, they need to have the cap space for the next 2 years (based on trading for his contract) to take him on and also have the need for him. Teams like Cincy and Miami for example are pretty loaded at top end WRs, and there isn’t a “need” to squeeze him in. Then you have teams who have huge QB contracts and they still need to keep guys on both sides of the ball. Teams have to weigh what taking on his contract will do towards retaining other players next year too or impacting what other holes they can fill this year. I could keep going with many reasons this cut and dry conclusion you are trying to get to him just isn’t reflective of reality, circumstances, and context of all that is in play when considering a trade for him or signing him to a multi year contract, but I think my point is clear enough as is. It’s totally cool to not be in favor of signing him, I am just saying I think you’re making some leaps in logic on how others view him to get to a conclusion that fits your personal opinion that he doesn’t have much left in the tank. You’re saying it without thinking you’re saying it. If teams don’t want to pay him as a WR1 then what do you think teams think he is? Baltimore could’ve easily fit Hopkins back at the start of the new year and then restructured his contract. It’s obvious teams don’t view him as a WR1 anymore. He’ll get WR2 money, which is why he was cut not traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't seem like he could get on the field with the Giants and the rumor was he was injured but the Giants felt he could play. Then he was a little bit made of glass in the stint with KC, although he did perform well at critical moments. In his career he's had 37 chances at starting, he ended up only starting 9 times. He was available to start 22 times. So even when he was available he started less than 50% of the time. He reminds me so much of Percy Harvin.

Because Daboll is trying to build a culture of winning and apparently Toney did not fit the profile he was looking for. It’s not just been availability with Toney but also attitude and other intangibles. KC has been willing to gamble on guys like that, but when you are trying to build from the ground up, probably not the best bet.
