No he's not, but he's a consistent 'I'll bite your ass if you ignore me' WR , especially in the clutch who's a momentum swing... I can't wait to see depth nickle backs attempting late into the season cover him with the addition of Hopkins

No more more sure handed receiver than Fitz who can make a crucial play.

Julio Jones & Larry Fitzgerald? Michael Thomas and Larry Fitzgerald? Ok..... Maybe just Larry.

The other 2 are Julio and Michael Thomas.

I think Michael Thomas is #1, but I would rate Hopkins second.

Davante Adams and Odell are really the only other 2 in the top tier currently.

Hopkins - "where is the best neighborhood to live in Arizona"

unknown person - "Paradise Valley"

Hopkins - "that sounds nice...Paradise".

LOL

He also said he is wearing #10

Did he get Scott Player's permission? Does he have to wear a single bar helmet, if he gets #10?

He'll have to pry it out of Johnnie Dixon's cold, dead hands:

Must of been cheaper for team to sign this guy & put him in #10 than for webteam to put a generic placeholder. Showing that he last played on practice squad of Roughriders in 2016!!!

Different Johnnie Dixon. This guy graduated from Ohio State in 2019.

.......if it is true, you pay Hopkins top dollar, and not even think twice.

Absolutely! Give him a billion if he wants that (probably would be a good idea to do it around the cap). He really is a great player.

I suppose we have 2 options with Hopkins:

1) Sign him to extension this year with a decreased cap number in 2020 but higher in 2021 when/if Fitz retires
2) Wait until next year when/if Fitz's 11m comes off the books.

Paying both guys ~24m combined this year and ~20m just for Hopkins in future years.

I can't imagine Hopkins being happy about playing this year with no guaranteed money though.

This biggest part of the deal is that we cleared ALL of Dj's salary.

Hopkins for a 2nd and 4th is a worth while trade...but getting rid of DJ's salary was a hard task to accomplish.

Thats what pushes it over the top for me

This whole deal is mind boggling. Keep in mind that we also get a 4th from the Texans, so it's basically DHop for a 2nd round pick. Plus the salary dump. Larceny!

Think D Hop gets his extension today? Have to imagine they're very close on a new deal.
