BananaB Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 8 minutes ago, Pete said: The Pats are the only team stupid enough to consider paying DH. They are desperate at WR, have lots of cap space, fans pressuring for signing, but no other team is willing to pay that amount. DH don’t like to practice, he does not have Bills DNA imo. No thank you to DH. I like our WR group now, and I don’t think DH adds much we don’t already have He catches the ball. That was a problem last year and everyone we brought in has not proved they can consistently do that on Sundays. We took the same gamble last year and it hurt us late in the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the price becomes more reasonable….. 😋 I think Beane has a standard $2million offer(approximately). You want to play with Josh, and play for the Bills? We offer $2million, and our offer stands. It was good enough for Poona. Poona wants to win the Super Bowl. Same with Damian Harris. Floyd and Rapp took less money to play for Buffalo. They all want to be a Buffalo Bill, and they want to win a Superbowl, it’s not about $. Hopkins seems obvious to me solely motivated by money. Why else would he even consider signing with New England? My guess is Beane pitched “do you wish to be a Buffalo Bill? Here is a one year, $2million offer. Sign it now, sign it later. Buffalo Bills Super Bowl train is boarding soon” I dig Beanes patient style and acumen. Hopkins bargaining position is not good, weakening every day 20 minutes ago, BananaB said: He catches the ball.

Are you going to sub out Gabe for Hopkins(who can’t block)? so in essence, DH would be a role player( DHdoesn’t play special teams either- stealing a roster spot of good NFL player, lower costs, more versatile, hungrier and younger) Edited July 5, 2023 by Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zay Jones had great college hands, how’d it pan out on Sunday. You don’t know until they prove it. Gabe can sit on the bench behind Dhop the whole season. Loyalty only goes so far if your doing your job and Gabe has been very inconsistent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that work out, we shall see. If Hopkins were all about the money, he'd likely have already signed someplace, so do think he want's to go to a team like the Bills and both sides are playing a waiting game, maybe to meet in the middle, though likely much further from what Hop wanted and hoped to get. Maybe ends up being a contract with a bunch of incentives thrown in. Been talk too that Hopkins may wait out through training camp see if some team has a WR who gets hurt, then team may bump up offer. I do think though in the case of Bills, if he's not signed by the 1st week of training camp, he's not coming here. Doubt the Bills would sign him in late August barring a major injury. Kincaid caught balls very well in college. The Bills hope that translates well to the NFL, but we don't know yet. Stranger things have happened. Overall the Bills would be a much stronger offense with Hopkins than without. Your 12 personal description is great, as long as no one gets hurt or needs to sit out a play or two. That's where Hopkins makes the team much stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
