Deandre Hopkins asking price

[CTcowboy203]

He's not that guy anymore I'd rather ask the Bucs about Evans. They are rebuilding now throw them a 2nd and 3rd

This is the ideal trade receiver Imo. Down field playmaker who only costs 14 million on our cap and he’s in the last year of his deal. Still in his prime and not injury prone.

Don’t think it happens tho

 

[Bullflop]

Hopkins price w/b at least a 2nd round pick and maybe a late rounder, too. That's not taking into account a pretty hefty salary, as well. Yikes!

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if our FO favors some other FA vet acquisition and an early draft pick of their choice in the upcoming draft.

 

[CTcowboy203]

Heard his number was similar to Gallup’s deal, both should more healthy a year post surgery. He was good for the Rams for their stretch run as a complementry piece

Right but it’s hope. You’re hoping he’s still the player he was before injury just like we hoped Gallup would be and then it’s compounded by hoping Gallup is back.

Hopkins isn’t what he was and he may miss 3-4 games but when he was on the field he still produced- we need someone we know can produce not hope that they do.

 

[cnuball21]

It would be a two year 18m per year deal and Hopkins has a no-trade clause / no franchise tag clause so he'd likely ask for more money. He's worth more than a two though.

Does the full cap hit carry over or just the salary?

If he’s 20 per year or under and we have him until we have to resign Lamb it’s a. o brainer IMO.

The no trade clause was voided in his contract because of the ped suspension

Yea, I’m asking more so about what all carries over from his total compensation in a trade.

 

[EST_1986]

I swear a lot of yall think the NFL is like Madden


Yall want 2 receivers making over $20m a year plus Gallup making $13m?

Awful team building.

Lets just bottom of the barrel it again, grab Steven Sims Jr and Nick Westbrook, pretend like they're the next thing up and watch another disaster season ...yay team building

will be 30 this year, but i would prefer him to hopkins.

still think a 2nd is too rich for either of these guys, especially after cooper went for a 5th.

the fact is, wrs are coming from college and making an immediate impact now more than ever. we dont want to end up like the chargers stuck with a keenan allen type contract and aging player.

 

[DanTanna]

Cooper's salary is why we only got a 5th for him. I'm no way on board with Hopkins unless he agrees to a friendly long term contract BEFORE the trade. Hopkins for $20M - hell no, we should have kept Cooper. Mike Evans - I like this idea but he needs to sign a long term friendly deal with us IMO. $20M for these aging guys doesn't float my boat.

 

[cnuball21]

One of the challenges is Lambs contract jumps up this year…we should’ve done this years ago with someone like Cooper while Lamb was cheaper.

Oh wait…

 

[baltcowboy]

Yes, that deal would be far more manageable, basically paying 2 for the price if 1 elite

I just heard about MM comments on Kellen. You hit it right on the head about the Cowboy’s offensive plan to pick improve the run game. I think they want to plug that 2nd cornerback hole and run it back on defense. I could see the Cowboys drafting that cornerback with the first pick then use the rest of the early picks for guard, running back and tight end. I still believe they get OBJ.

The signing bonus and restructure bonus have already been paid so they counts against Atlanta. I’m not sure about the option bonuses.

Well that makes Hops a little more doable.

 

[blueblood70]

In theory it sounds great based on what he's done, but between his injury history, suspension, age, and contract is it worth it?

A few years ago Julio Jones and DeAndre Hopkins looked like the best receivers in the NFL. Both have fallen off a lot. I certainly believe the best receivers can still be productive well into their 30s, but I don't know that Hopkins is the same player.

Besides hasn't Cee Dee drawn comparisons to Hopkins? Would it be better to have a receiver that brings some alternative skills that doesn't make 30 million a year?

yes, a bigger faster younger and cheaper WR2 or 3. Fans here dont understand a payer not true FA at their age like Ramseys and Hop, not only require draft compensation and already paid highly, WANT A NEW MARKET career achievement award oops i mean contract.

Sorry, that not worth it IMO.. if Dhop was a FA wants to work for 18mil, yes let's do it..

no for me on either one.

Allegedly one of the weaker wide receiver drafts in awhile…we also just drafted a guy who was supposed to make an immediate impact and couldn’t see the field with a ridiculously weak receiver group.

Have no problem building through the draft but if the goal is to get over the hump we can’t hope and pray on a drafted player or an injured player.

we merely hoped tolbert would make an immediate impact due to huge void we had at wr until gallup returned. that being said, nobody thought tolbert would be completely absent from the gameplan all season.

in any event, i 100% understand the need for wr2. going into next season hoping gallup returns to form or tolbert takes a leap seems like a recipe for disaster. that being said, i dont think it necessitates an overreach such as giving up a 2nd or more, while paying in the realm of 15million for wrs on the wrong side of 30. its a desperate bandaid situation, which if structured incorrectly causes us to take a step back overall.

don't get me wrong, id take hopkins, evans, cooks or even obj (to a lesser degree) on a friendlier deal using less draft capital.

ive also seen other names thrown around... higgins, aiyuk, michael pittman or jerry jueudy.

 

[conner01]

What is missing is that he wants a huge extension, that’s why Arizona is trading him

That’s the issue. A second if he played out his contract is not bad. A second and a new contract at his age isn’t good
I think there will be a few WR available for less than a first this year and one or two cut

I agree, if he is finishing out his current deal, worth it

I’d do this in a heartbeat!!!!
