Today’s Rumor: Hopkins to Buffalo

[ASUCHRIS]

You think the 2 starters can garner just 1 late 1st round pick? lol Yes, they can get more for the both of them together. Shouldn't even be a debate.

Prepare to be disappointed - the Cards have no leverage and the entire league knows it.

Plus you have Dhop with the PED thing and also wanting a new contract plus Budda's contract size not to mention his actual size - I don't see how accepting a late second round pick for Dhop is that much worse than accepting a late first round pick for both - not to mention everyone knows we're desperate af

Very easily…

Much easier now than once the season starts!

 

[Garthshort]

Buffalo has $5.3M in cap space. I don't see how they can make this deal.




Teams always find a way.

If not a good deal, hold on to him until a contender suffers a WR injury.

 

[gmabel830]

FWIW (not much), the best offer I could find for Hopkins on Pro Football Network's draft simulator was with NE for pick #46.

 

[gmabel830]

Wish we could get more when freaking Hollywood Brown netted a 1st round pick... but I'll take it. Just get it done and let's look to the draft.

Brown is younger and more cost controlled... but not as good, so I totally get it.

And what if Hopkins gets injured?

 

[BritCard]

The Cards get only pick #59

I'm fine with 59. I'd have liked a 4th too but considering the market 59 would be fine.

 

[Ronin]

Do it. Do it now.

"Get to the choppa."

My bet is that only one team was gullible enough to pay a first for freaking Hollywood Brown.

Except they don't really have the cap space for both. One sure, they can restructure.

 

[NMCard]

I would like a trade like that if true. Much better the the 5th or 6th rounder I was expecting them to get. I think it is fortunate that the Cards are not letting much information out at all.

I get that...I'm just talking about getting 2 starters who are arguably still top 5-10 at their positions...It's worth more than a late 1st for both.

In a vacuum, sure. If they were on a rookie contract, even better. Having to pay for a new contract for both players makes it less valuable.

Add a year to contract and convert most of this year' salary to a prorated bonus.

If you ignore all the other stuff making this a challenge, then sure, we should get more.

Hopkins is going to regret this when Colt McCoy/David Blough take the Cards to the Super Bowl.

Look, it's theoretically possible.

Crazier things have happened.......right?........maybe?.......hmmm

Scott Hatteberg should be the new assistant GM.

 

[Garthshort]

And what if Hopkins gets injured?

The numbers are on our side. There is only one DHop but there are MANY WR's who play for the contending teams. Nothing is certain but the odds are with us, even if the FB gods aren't.

 

[Goodyear Card]

Add a year to contract and convert most of this year' salary to a prorated bonus.

That would still be a $7M cap hit.

Are they though?

Even if they are, it's risking getting nothing for him. Are we going to get better than a 2nd/3rd to one of these contenders if everything happens just right?

Get what you can.

I'd take 52 year old Trent Green right now, over anyone else on the roster not named Kyler Murray.
