Hopkins not going anywhere?

[QuebecCard]

I think Monti Could probably rework Hopkins contract, to convert his salary this year to bonus and make it guaranteed, then tear up the last year.

Sure, but his salary is guaranteed as of game #1 of the season.

A simple salary restructure now gives the CARDS $9.1m in Cap room.

IMO - this has limited appeal to DHop.

However, guaranteeing his salary in 2024 and a few bells and whistles could appeal.

Does Kincaid kill Hopkins to the Bills?

He's a receiving TE. Hard to see them going receiver option in round 2 also.

Yes, and it's time to put aside a DHop trade having any implications in this draft.

Yes his salary may be guaranteed as of game one, but he still has to wait for those game paychecks to come in. A huge bell and whistle to add is to convert it to bonus, so it's paid out in one lump sum immediately.

I don't think there's much of an issue here.

CARDS may do it during regular business as they could use the Cap space.

You want to appeal to Dhop... deal with 2024.

Getting tired with all those rumors about Hopkins being traded very soon and it started two months a go

Someone didn't cover MONTI's press availability last night, and the speculation is dated 4-27.

That is from yesterday before they drafted Zay Flowers.

Whatever Monti said last night, or whatever he may say today, it’s a smokescreen for what‘s to come. Whether it’s today, tomorrow, or during the season, the Cardinals will eventually trade Hop. As someone has already said, Hop isn’t a guy that wants to practice. And that will NEVER fly with Gannon as he attempts to change the culture here. Yes, Hop was great, and Hop is still very good, but he’s a poison for what Gannon wants to accomplish.

This is what I believe also

Moreover dHop doesn't want to play for the Cardinals anymore

Do you have (ONE) actual report that Dhop doesn't do his reps at practice?

Not loving practice is something 99% of athletes share.

It's a chore you go through to do what you love. Playing the game.

 

[TheCardFan]

That sounds more like GM speak vs we aren't trading him period.

Age, injuries, PED suspension, $$$$ are, probably, the issues on trading DHop. Alleged practice inadequacies and effort are, probably, less of an issue, if they're an issue at all. If the $$$$ weren't what they are, he'd already be gone.

If I was a betting man, I would bet that he's getting traded eventually. And, more than likely, the Cards will be eating some of his $$$$.

 

[Chopper0080]

I see no reason to take any GM at their word at this point in time.

Plus other teams don’t have the cap room for him and want us to eat some of his salary, which we don’t want to do.

Yep.

I know of one team that has picks and money and a need...Detroit.

Looks like the Ravens got their aging WR. I'm curious is the Ravens know this though..

We gave Hopkins the opportunity to seek a trade/talk to other teams.

If there is no interest - so be it.

Buckle up D-Hop.
