Hopkins released by Arizona (7/16: signed by Titans)

Now that he is a free agent, I think you should take all his comments about where he wants to play, with what QBs, and that money is not the issue with a grain of salt.  In the end, it will be about the money, just like it was with OBJ.

Bills have to get this done. 
 

We know he wants to come here .. and while he has mentioned other options .. I’m sorry, the fact he mentions Buffalo/Allen so frequently and always first when asked, means something. 
 

We have, hopefully/potentially, two more high level years from Diggs, Von, Tre, Hyde & Poyer.   Maybe more, maybe less, but hopefully we can get two more years like that with all five together. 
 

Then we will be looking at, not rebuilding, but retooling the roster a good bit.  
 

Add Hopkins to the mix.  Kincaid may be the future, but we don’t have to count on a rookie, in this Super Bowl window, by making an obvious move. 
 

If it’s about money, and he signs with some random team, so be it … but if he’s down to Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, Jets etc…

We know Hopkins wants to be here so that gives us a chance. Beane will have to work some magic but I really think we can make this happen.

He'll find a creative way for a 2 year deal. It will involve some more restructures.  This is the WR2 we've been waiting for.  Maybe he'll take less also?

To make this happen the Bills trade Ed Oliver? 

 

What realistic trades or cuts would need to happen??

 

Wouldn't necessarily have to cut or trade anybody if you have a couple contracts that can be restructured. Can't assume anybody would take Oliver and his contract, and that would just create another roster need.

Don't rule out the Jets. They are also in win now mode and having Rodgers as the QB makes them a decent option.

 

Aren't the Jets having issues getting Quinnen Williams signed?  Given that and their current WRs Dhop to the Jets would surprise me.

Not to be a debbie downer - but I bet the Bills brass is fine with what we have. We have a top 5 receiver in Diggs and a strong cast of other WR's in Sherfield, Harty, Davis, and then Kincaid and Fort Knox. I seriously doubt we go for Dhop. Just don't see it. It would be cool but so unrealistic to an actual Football mind outside of the 2 Bills Drive fanhood.

Nobody outside this website would confuse those guys you just listed with a strong cast of wideouts lol

We have 1 WR.  And a bunch of guys.

 

Want to beat the defenses we saw last year with their press get a legit threat outside of Diggs

LOL - I hear ya man. But I said the coaches do. And they do... They are a strong cast. It is what we are going with and I kind of like it. That and an added Backfield that has more power to hit the holes. You'll see.

Dhop would be cool but it won't happen.

Ummm - we DID beat the defenses we saw last year. 14 times. The one loss was to the Bungles and they have been torn apart on D this year. If we are healthy, with the new additions we are the team to beat.

 

You make it sound like we were pounded and shut down. Not the case

Awww. That’s so cute. Only way he’s going there is if all he cares about is money. Bill O’Brien is there as OC and they aren’t on the best of terms from the Texans trade. Unless they’ve patched it up. Even then it would only be about the money.

I just don't see the downside I guess

 

I think it would be another mistake to spend another year hoping Davis becomes a reliable wideout and a rookie TE plus Dawson Knox can become catalysts for a SB run. Seems very unlikely imo
