Hopefully a #2 WR is not the missing piece to season while we watch Hopkins put up a 1,000+ yd season catching balls from Tannehill. Of course he's going to pull 1k yards, he's going to be the unquestioned #1 WR in that relatively weak WR room. No way we get that sort of value out of him on our team at anywhere close to the money the Titans gave him. In what world would it make sense to give him $10m+/year when we honestly don't really need him? We added Cook and Kinkaid, Knox will benefit from better O-line play freeing him to go out and catch balls, and our WR signings are underrated. Davis is fine as WR2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would give us a constant wave of good edge play. Again, if a team offered good $ they'd already be signed The longer these players are on the market, the better chance we have of snagging one who decides to take a little less for a good team Looks like he was offered some decent coin by someone Edited July 16, 2023 by Aussie Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that Diggs didn’t choose the bills. Hopkins chose the titans. I certainly don’t believe he went there because he thinks he has a reasonable chance of winning a Super Bowl. He went there because of the money. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrochester55 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Titans? Because Ryan Tannehill and Malik Willis will get Hopkins much further than Allen or Mahomes would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Everyone knew it was about the money.

Expect him to chase the money. He would have already taken less money already if it was a ring he was after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I'd actually play for the money, in any other position but QB. If you're a top QB, you can dictate games more, and also get more endorsement money if the team does well. Every other position gets paid much less, and you never know how long your career will last. In the NFL, you have to cash in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree it's not a perfect analogy, that's reasonable I just think it's silly to say oh this guy doesn't care about winning because he's only after the bag Every player goes everywhere because of the money 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Titans going to turn into the new drought Bills...good enough to go 7-9, 8-8 or 9-7 but not good enough to have any real chance at winning it. Stop wasting time and rebuild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 He obviously waited out to see if a contender would match or come close the current offers he had. Once he realized nobody was going to bite he took the bag in front of him. In NE he'd have to face 3 contenders with McNoodle throwing the ball against above average secondaries. At least in Tenn it might be interesting considering its a 2 horse race. Unfortunately for him Tennessee's horse is 2 steps away from the glue factory.

BillsfaninChicago Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 It is going to be so weird not having this thread here now. I am institutionalized to it like the walls of the Shawshank prison. First I hated it. Then I got used to it. Enough time passed that I got so that I depended on it. 😟 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
