It's been reported that he doesn't want to go to a team with a rookie quarterback anyway, so I wouldn't think our chances of getting him are all that high either way.

If your rookie and young qb played more video games then studied film you’d probably be scared too. I’d like to see where he ends up could change the power rankings of a couple good teams.

We have the 2nd most cap space in the league. If we paid him the most money I think he would come here even with a rookie QB.

 

Most of these players are about money at the end of the day. Football is not a sport you have a 20 year career. Guys trying to set their family up after football. Whoever pays Hopkins the most money will get him if he ends up being cut.

Dude, just no, on multiple fronts.

This isn't a RB who only has one chance to land a big contract, the guy has already made $110 million in his career with minimal team success.

He's not going to just take the highest contract offer, he literally said going into this offseason that he wasn't looking for max money, but he wanted to go somewhere that is a contending team and he'd be willing to take a pay cut to make it happen.

Beyond that, we only have the 2nd most cap space in the league right now in name only, we also need to save more cap room than almost any team in the league for the rookies.

I'm not saying we can't or won't sign him, but it won't be because we have the 2nd most cap room and thus offer him the biggest contract offer of any team.

Im just telling you the only way he considers us is if we overpay him.

That may or may not be the case, but it's not what you said.

You said he's going to the highest bidder because that's what football players do, which is true sometimes, but seeing as he's explicitly said that's not what he was looking for with his next team/contract, it's just a dumb thing to say in such a matter of factly way.

Never said it was a fact. My man you trying to put words in my mouth. I only said he wants to get paid the most money he can get. Nothing more nothing less.

 

 

 

 

"Whoever pays Hopkins the most money will get him if he ends up getting cut"

That was your direct quote, I didn't change a word there, and that was directly after you said that football players are about money at the end of the day and have to look out for their families.

So, sure... me saying "he's going to the highest bidder" is putting words in your mouth, as you didn't use those explicitly exact words, but that's literally the definition of semantics seeing as you literally said, "whoever pays him the most money will get him."

When in reality, if you've paid any attention to the Hopkins situation over the last couple of months, it's been widely known and reported that he's openly said he isn't trying to re-set any WR market and is willing to take a pay cut to go to a contender.  That's not to say he won't end up taking the most money offered to him, but you came in hot with a pretty definitive statement that he was signing due to money, despite him saying the opposite himself.

It's been a theme of yours on here a lot lately and we've butted heads quite a few times, which is fair when people have differing opinions.  But as Mr Scot told you a week or so ago, sometimes it's just better to sit back and listen than spout off when you aren't informed and knowledgable about the topic at hand.

Sorry if we disagree. I think Hopkins is looking for the most money he can get. It's okay if you think otherwise. Neither of us know in reality.

My dude, in what world can you say "neither of us know in reality" when Hopkins himself has come out and said he's not looking for a huge contract and is willing to work with a team to get his cap number down?

I'm not just making my own predictions here, I'm using his own words

Xavier should be looking over his shoulder defense adding two pieces to your position.
