I’m pretty concerned about it that could affect his play the entire season. I’ve never had it, but from listening to players that have it’s very painful and it lingers. It’s going to make it tough for him competing against two other young TEs.
I'm tired of settling for being intrigued by players....time for Booger to go out and start spending money on sure things.
There's a difference between being "fine" and having a terrific, deep corps. You can be out of any Hopkins contract before CD's extension hits.
The comp pick doesn't matter. It's not like you're giving one away.
And for all we know, the Cowboys might too. We don't know. I'm curious to see where it goes. And, as for the comp pick, the idea is that we could basically pull off another Randall Cobb situation where we sign him. He balls out, and we can get a 3 or 4th round pick as a comp pick for him. How cool would that be?
Hopkins has lost at least a step or two and has had injury issues. There’s a reason the Cardinals moved on from him. They didn’t feel like he was worth the big money and despite trying to trade him no one offered them anything. He’s been available for a couple of weeks and it’s not like anyone has snatched him up yet. He isn’t what he was but you don’t seem to get that. He’s not going to replace a big body TE over the middle. This is just a waste of time, we’re never going to agree.
Does not make sense ..they have already made the trade and contract transaction for speedster Brandin Cooks ...
And if we could get out of Gallup's money, it would be a thought. Or if we hadn't signed Cooks.
I believe Simi Fehoko will drastically improve and solidify himself a spot on the WRs group.
Meh. Amari Cooper got released because he would take plays/games off and not dominate on the field for the amount of money he was getting paid. He also refused to get the vax, so he missed 2 games for his own personal decision which hurt the team. Also, during the 49ers playoff loss of 2021, late in the game during the 4th quarter, Amari was caught on camera watching another WR running after the catch, instead of Amari running downfield to make some key blocks to help his fellow teammate possibly break the catch loose for big gains. Jerry simply had enough, realized why the Raiders were willing of getting rid of Amari, so Jerry finally did the same. Can't blame him.
He's never been a separation guy. His separation last year was better tahn it was in 2019, for instance.
What? They have 3 proven NFL wide receivers. Every team has 10 guys or whatever on the roster right now, but it doesn't mean they're deep.
Well I'm not an NFL coach, but even for long term NFL coaches, OTAs don't involve anything approaching game speed, etc., can't tell much about a player imho, but we'll see.
I never said Hopkins was bad and that we can’t afford him. This is the second time you’ve twisted my words. I said he’s not what he was but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad player. If he was still at the top of his game, he wouldn’t have been released. Although we have plenty of cap room, we have some big contracts coming up with CeeDee, Diggs and Parsons. We can’t be loading up on high priced receivers and keep one standing on the sidelines as our fourth receiver. Hopkins has had some injury issues and is looking for a long-term contract. We’re months into free agency, we’ve had the draft and teams have their roster set for training camp. Hopkins has been available for nine days and is still unsigned. If you think that means I’m saying he’s a bad player you’re wrong!
You're saying that he's not good enough to get big money but also that we can't afford him. The logic of "he's been available for 9 days and is still unsigned" is effectively saying that he's damaged goods, but you're referencing long-term, high-dollar contracts. The argument is effectively, someone is going to give him a big contract but also the league does not think he's worth a big contract because he's still available lol.
I said he’s not going to get $15 million and if he does I’m wrong. Hopkins is looking for a multiyear deal, but you don’t seem to get that. He’s likely going to have to settle for a one year deal. You seem to forget the Cowboys still have TY Hilton and they drafted a receiver. They also just signed another receiver. We’re just wasting time with this because the Cowboys aren’t assigning Hopkins.
