Shaft Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) 26 minutes ago, Gopher said: Dallas wouldn't surprise me, either. I would, however, be surprised, if he went to NE. Just doesn't seem like a fit for Hopkins. He's looking for a chance to win, and a chance to play with a top QB. That's why I like KC or BUF better than DAL. Their QB's are head and shoulders above Dak. There's another variable we haven't discussed, Hopkins' legacy. He's a great wide receiver, but not quite HOF level. 2-3 more years with at least one SB ring can change that outlook. I like the Bills or the Chiefs for him to put up good stats AND earn a SB ring.

irish Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Per ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss, the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots were some of the clubs “reportedly interested in pursuing Hopkins,” leading up to his release from the Cardinals.

Shaft Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Jimmy Garoppolo's contract has a waiver clause which makes it easier for the Raiders to cut him. It's due to his foot injury. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-jimmy-garoppolo-needed-waiver-or-would-have-failed-his-physical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Speaking of Raiders, Saints may be continuing to pillage LV with rumors swirling of a post June 1st trade for Hunter Renfrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I saw that. As a Renfrow dynasty owner, I like it. Carr will then have two former Raiders in that offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) I don't see the Chiefs in on Hopkins. They don't have the money right now to sign him AND they have some contracts they are working on or will need to work on in the next couple of years. Plus, the word is Hopkins is one of those "don't practice during the week" guys, and that wouldn't fly in Andy Reid's system. The complexity of the offense required the guys to be there at practice every day. Edited June 5, 2023 by Chief Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some compelling arguments about the Chiefs' cap space and how they could quite easily move some chess pieces around financially speaking and be able to afford Hopkins. That said, what you say about his practice availability is also a compelling thought. Would he change his tune to be part of a winning organization like that, though? Maybe.

stevegrab Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) I was reading this which has some information on what he might want in a contract. Also so reports that neither Giants nor Cowboys are likely to be serious players. https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-rumors-deandre-hopkins-wants-151509463.html The part about him not practicing hard will be an issue with many teams, some may care less. I saw a tweet about the Browns releasing some backup OT that saves them $2M as if that was some kind of indication they were going after Hopkins.

Yeah, I've posted a little in there. Mainly what I posted above. I just don't think Hopkins really is a fit for the Chiefs. They pretty much stay away from big rangy receivers for the most part in lieu of shorter guys capable of running all the routes. That part of the offense is so important and I think at this point Hopkins just won't do the work to make himself multi-faceted like that. Reid wouldn't take a guy like that. Just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working a trade in a dynasty league where I really need a solid RB and I fear he'd be "meh" fantasy-wise in Dallas with Pollard there. Same with Buffalo; he'd share with his lil bro and Harris too much. Edit: just read he posted a pic of him at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on IG. Maybe a teaser as to where he's going (or hopes to go)?

I agree that Miami makes a great fit and is probably the #1 spot he lands. They are playoff contenders and he would be the #1 option there. Fantasy-wise that's ideal. As a Cowboys' Fan, he's a better version of Zeke and pairing him with Pollard and those WRs, would be crazy awesome! What do you guys think about the Vikings releasing Cook and possibly bring in Zeke as the Thunder to Mattison's lightning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I’m not convinced Mattison is lightning, and I don’t think Zeke brings much to the table that the Vikes need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
