Hoping that the Houston connection between him and Hurts brings him to Philly! Although if he's betting on himself on a prove it deal a move to the Chiefs probably makes the most sense to increase his value given their WR situation. Maybe more targets available for him there. If he's looking for a pay day now however... yeah probably not going to happen for KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the Bills have any obvious restructure candidates to open up cap space though In terms of available cap space I think it comes down to us versus the Ravens. We have the better overall team, but they have more targets to offer in the offense. Best case scenario for us is that if he doesn't join the Eagles, he picks the Chargers instead. I don't think D-Hop puts them over the top, but he can easily be a game changer for the other 3 AFC teams he's interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesteakitis Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 i haven’t given up on watkins but i think Hopkins has some good left in him and is a stud I’d sign him and rotate the big 3 in and out of the slot don’t know many teams that could stop Hopkins, Brown, Smitty and god forbid one of them were to get hurt we would still be solid at wr. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be quite the luxury signing for us. The cap space is there, but the concern would be if Hopkins (or our guys) would be ok with being in a crowded WR room? It's not like all 3 guys are going to go for 1000 yards receiving. Someone is gonna take a hit in the stat sheets. Also there is the reasonable argument for whether or not our cap space is better saved for a potential starting LB or veteran OL that could be available?

In a passing league with an extra game it certainly is possible to have 3 1000 yard receivers. It's been done in the past. (Last to do it in 2008..

I was laughing because people shrugged off the news of Hurts working out with Brown before the 2022 draft. But if you asked my opinion, I'm not sure how Hopkins would fit in this offense. Would you make him the full time slot receiver or would you just move all the WRs around? As I see it right now, Hopkins was at one time the best WR in the NFL. But now, would I pick him over Brown or Smith at this moment? No --- absolutely not. He's definitely a better WR than Quez, but I have no idea how he would really feel about being the 4th targeted player (after Smith, Brown, and Goedert) on a team. Is he much of a blocker? Brown and Smith are both pretty effective when they need to block, but some of the NFL's premium WRs would rather have nothing to do with blocking. Quez is on the books for $2.7M which isn't a lot if he repeats his 2022 performance. How much would we have to give Hopkins who I'm sure still believes he's a top 3 WR in the NFL? Whatever that number is, if he puts up 2022 Quez numbers, would that price tag be worth it? Personally, I would be hesitant to disrupt the chemistry Hurts has with the current group of pass catchers. On paper, the trio of Smith, Brown and Hopkins combined with Goedert would make teams even more nervous if they all stayed happy all year. I'm just not so sure that would be the case. I don't really see Brown or Smith recruiting Hopkins on social media. There may be a reason. Who knows? I do still think the news of Hurts following Hopkins on IG is funny.

ilikepargo Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I can't see it happening. And we have more pressing needs at both ILB and Safety. But I wouldn't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2rock Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Not questioning the talent. Dude is a stud. But am questioning the fit. He wants to be paid like a #1 (reportedly) … we’re already paying Brown a boatload and will have to pay Smith next year. And it seems obvious he is going to want the touches a #1 gets. If I’m wrong about any of that or he would be willing to reduce expectations to be a part of something special then by all means sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he wants and what he's going to get are two different things. I want to be paid like Jalen Hurts but I'm not going to get it from Howie :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just me but i know i would be happy making the millions he already has and having a real chance to chase a ring! i wouldn’t need a big payday or a ton of yards and a td as long as the team is winning. another little side bit—— Hopkins has also signed with Klutch Sports this week after previously representing himself. Kelton Crenshaw will be Hopkins' agent going forward as he seeks out a new team. Crenshaw represents DeVonta Smith, Chase Young, and Kayvon Thibodeaux -- all of whom are in the NFC East.

garingovt2000 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Hopkins is still a top 5-10 WR... It's an added luxury but also prevents him from making teams like Chiefs, Bills even more formidable. If we cut Quez doesn't that free up another $2.5 million or so.... I don't see us getting Hopkins but man this offense could be dynamic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPIDER-MAN Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Considering they have no true #1, I think he goes back to Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
