Just curious how much are you expecting him to sign for?

 

To me? It all comes down to how badly he really wants to play for a non-contender.

 

So...The better the team, the less money he'd need. Conversely, the worse the team? The more money it will take.

 

He's already stated he won't play for a rook, or a non-contender. So, it would cost us close to that 18mil number.

 

He may go for 15mil to a contender.

 

And if no contender calls? He just may sit out.

 

IMO, this is an evaluation year. And Hops doesn't fit that game plan.

I don't want them if they only balling out for a contract.

 

If they good they will ballout out regardless of contract. People need to understand Hopkins is a #1 WR point blank. You want to win games then you sign him. If you think we in a rebuild then let the young guys play. 

 

I see the point and for sure, I agree with the sentiment. But it is a brutal game and an NFL career is over in a blink of an eye. Everybody is balling out for a contract. It might not be the first thing out of their mouths or front and center in the attitude they approach the game with, but ultimately money is the driver for most players. There are probably a handful of guys that would play for minimum wage (exaggerating for clarity), but I suspect this is the exception.

Our WR group has a ton of talent.  Not to mention a QB that could make them all look very good.  I would spend 15 mil or so elsewhere personally.  Pass

 

First, there are a bunch of young WR with potential. The only way to bring out that potential is through playing. 

 

Second, adding Hops takes what 70+ snaps away from the kids who actually need them.

 

Third, we absolutely need to find out what we have at the WR position. More snaps equal better evaluations.

 

Fourth, if Bryce even come close to ROY, it will be because the WRs as a group pulled their weight.

 

Lastly, as you said, there are far more pressing needs for that money.

He was due 19 mil from the Cardinals this season before they decided to cut him, and no team picked up that check in a trade, so at least we know that no team will likely be offering him more than that. 

 

Well, I said 18MIL. So, I guess I'm still in the running.

Look at his last two years. He's not getting 18 and no contender can afford close to what he would want.  I think you're way over valuing him and he is too. That's why he remains unsigned

To get the most money teams will look at your entire body of work.

 

The top players ball out every year. That's why they make the most money.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
