Ya know, if we would have kept this to THE DeAndre Hopkins thread, it would have been over 300 by now. Here's hoping the mods merge.

It’s all that’s holding this deal

Then Cardinals are overtaking the Texans as the worst run NFL franchise followed closely by the Browns and the Jests   and no we cant afford it unless he wants to come ridiculously cheap..

 

So what you're saying is that DHop is a cancer who destroyed both the Texans and Cardinals.  Go ahead, sign with the Jets then lol.

Git. Er. Dun. Don’t listen to the make believe capologists here. 

 

As I've said in another thread, it's great to want him here and figure out ways it could be done. But just because fans are comfortable with doing certain things and see a possible way to do it, doesn't mean Beane will be comfortable doing it and sees things the same way.

Per my usual source, word for word from them - "The Bills are HEAVILY interested in DHop. It's already beyond a call being made. Work is being done."

 

Teams became aware that Hopkins would be released several days ago. Around that same time the Bills conducted an imaging review of Tre White's knee to make sure they would be comfortable tying themselves to his future in the event of a necessary restructure. White has performed very well at OTAs and the team is more confident than ever about his future.

 

That's all I have.

Pretty sure you are wrong.... Dead money for the NFL salary cap is guaranteed cash and bonuses for a player who no longer is on that particular team. The dead money comes from what the player was owed before the team decided to move on

I don't pretend to understand all the nuances of NFL contracts fully...  I was just going by a story I read in USA Today (who admittedly may have it wrong as well ...)

 

Analysis of why the Arizona Cardinals decided to release Deandre Hopkins

Quote

 Knowing the upcoming 2023 season is going to be a difficult one with Murray still months away from returning from a torn ACL and facing having to pay Hopkins $19.4 million this year and $14.9 million in 2024, it was no longer going to work.

...

Things unraveled to the point that it wasn’t going to happen here. The Cardinals knew it and that’s why they are willing to eat $22.6 million in dead cap money now to move on from Hopkins, clear $7.3 million in cap space this season, and continue with their rebuild.

Still can’t afford it. Moot. 

 

 

Yeah, this.

 

Unless he gives a hometown discount regardless of this not being his hometown.

 

I mean you always can.

 

But there are consequences that make it a bad idea in the current situation.

When will you all realize there is always money in the banana stand?

This is our decade. Decade and a half. Going all in on this year, meaning sacrificing the future, is nuts.

Meanwhile, the thread about Hopkins on the Cardinals forum is just 10 pages.

Yeah, yeah, I do realize it.

 

There is always money left on the credit cards too. But the people who think that means it's a great idea to max out those cards because they can don't end up having successful financial lives.

 

There are always more shiny objects out there too. 

 

Always.

You can reset any year at any time. When you have an elite qb, you go for it. The cap is malleable

Meh,  don't you know the "Beane is a wizard" movement is dead?   When it comes to UFA Beane is a total rando with an objectively terrible decision making track record.   When it comes to signing free agents save the wax.......just show us the baby Beane. 😉

this is fantastic news!!!! You / your source have a proven record of being right, and very recently!! Appreciate you sharing!

 

I wish we would extend DaQuan as well to free up more $

Signing D-Hop, unless were paying him something crazy, isn’t “mortgaging the future”… at least not while Josh Allen is here. 
 

What we will need to do is hit at a better rate on our impact draft picks moving forward.   The money to backfill if we don’t won’t likely be as available.
