It seems like a pretty even deal for both DHop and TEN. He'll make them better for sure, but it remains to be seen if he can get back to 2021-DHop where he was crazy good.

All things considered, and despite "quitting" at the end of last year's disastrous season, I still consider his time here in ARZ a success for the team. We had it going for a minute in 2021.

And the Hail Murray catch, which I was fortunate enough to be there in person for during COVID, is on the all-time Cardinals highlight reel.

The Hail Mary and the flying finger are the only things I remember about him. Imagine he left those memories without even practicing with the team. Remarkable is my last word for him.

Does a former short tenure cardinals player deserve a 25 page post? No he doesn’t, but yet here we are…

We need Camp to start otherwise we’ll see 40 plus pages.
Most of the posts where from when he was still a player. One of the best players of the past decade that we have, that got us out of the David Johnson contract. So by that standard, he deserves a 500 page post.

I'd like to state for the record, that the quoted post above was, in fact, the first post on the 26th page.

Why are people bagging on him for taking the money?
95% of free agents go with the best offer. He’ll be great in Tennessee and their best receiver.

He’d have been the best WR on the Cards by far. But they’re tanking and we get to Zach Pascal, a rookie, and Rondale Moore(for 4-6 games) out there.

Great time to be a long-suffering Cardinals fan, for sure, and Hopkins was a big part of it. Such good memories, although things started going south, it seems, when A.J. Green didn’t turn around on a Monday night in late October...

Sucks to lose a guy like Hopkins for nothing.

However - the Titans are far from the Cardinals. They were in the playoffs 5 straight years until last year (5/6 with Vrabel).
Hopkins gives them the AJ Brown threat they missed last year to go along with Henry.
This much is true. You could absolutely call them a "contender" based on that fact alone.

Can't say you're wrong, but if the culture of this franchise is going to change, then we need players who actually practice.

That’s like me telling my kids, “if we are going to live in a PV mansion, you guys gotta learn to keep your rooms clean…”
