Breer: Cards may have to settle for a Brandin Cooks-type trade for Hop

[TwoDeep3]

I would be so pissed off.

And the entire world trembled in fear.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Me too, would we ditch Gallup?

Fish was pitching the idea of Gallup and a late rounder.

If Hopkins does similar to Cooks, the cost wouldn't really be prohibitive, however you are still spending on a player in Gallup you wouldnt be using much. Arizona would be getting a decent band aide. If Gallup is back to pre injury form he is still a viable starter

 

[darthseinfeld]

Wish we waited and did this for hop instead of cooks

If price really is dropping they still can lol

A post June 1st trade involving Gallup could perhaps work with Hopkins restructuring but it’s a bit of a cap strain, I can’t see it.

That’s what I was thinking. Isn’t there a big dead money hit from trading Gallup?

Edit: missed the posts earlier. 12m hit.

Hence post June 1st which puts most on the cap hit in next year.

There is a reason Hopkins has said he is open to reworking his deal specifically saying he will take a pay cut for a trade.

We'll see, won't we?

NFL.Com gives Cowboys 'A+' for Gilmore trade and 'A' for Brandin Cooks trade. I'm happy with the work done.

Nothing new

The reason Cooks was so affordable was the Texans are paying like 6m of his contract. I don't think the Cards are willing to do that, and I doubt that Dhop is willing to take THAT much of a paycut.

 

[Rayman70]

if this is true, trade the last 5th we still have and get this guy.

 

[Rayman70]

Go get Hopkins!

Id call the cards back again and offer 2 5ths. Take it or leave it.

 

[Loso86]

I dont care about value and cap hit


Hopkins is a way better player. Always has been.

You dont care until it has a negative impact which it will lol

Not me. Hops has been having some injury issues lately.

And then they’ll complain that the team isn’t making a move.

 

[CWR]

I read that Gallup would be a piece going to the Cards

That deal works for both teams imo. Gallup a year removed from injury is a nice addition to a team needing wr depth. He's been nearly written off by fans here, but I expect him to be better after being fully recovered.

We end up with CD who is still young and a couple of outstanding vets in Cooks and Hopkins.

It almost makes too much sense.

Big facts bro! Lol

 

[kevm3]

Give up the 4th and get this guy in here.

Can't after restructuring him. Dallas isn't in talks with hopkins. They have their guy
