No. A "Chiefs Insider" said don't meltdown if Hopkins goes to a rival

1. Hopkins posted the Buffalo Soldier song hours after following Josh Allen 2. Josh followed Damien Harris and Hopkins yesterday 3. Beane has said they could move money around if a move made sense 6. If Oliver's $ is going out and AZ retains 6 million like Houston did with Cooks, Hopkins is only adding a few million to our cap this year 7. What do you expect a GM to say to the media? "We have no desire to keep the player?"

You won't have to trade a 1st though. The original ask was a 2+ something else. It's now reported the deal is expected to be closer to what Cooks got

Uhhhhh the Texans just ate 6 million of Cooks salary in the Cowboys trade

I'm guessing that originally Beane's interest was lukewarm based on the asking price + the $$$.... but since Houston retained $ on Cooks, there is precedent for that to happen and if Arizona has come down on their desired return... it makes sense we could suddenly have serious interest

it’s not exactly a “rumor” and the GM did not say that

Draft a big DT in the mid rounds. 325+ bring in a few UDFA big bodies and hope you strike gold besides Ford, unaware of who else is out there. Any big veterans for cheap works. DaQuan Draft Pick Settle UFA/UDFA if Phillips will re-sign cheap then sure!

I would prefer to trade Ed over Gabe

For anyone who cares, Hopkins Orange Juice IG story is gone already too.. which likely means he puts his posts on a timer and didn’t “delete” the Buffalo Soldier

I do agree that Diggs is great in the slot. I don’t understand why our offense didn’t look like it did week 1 in LA all year. the quick passing game with slants was great all of those players can play both positions and be moved around to keep defenses guessing and create mismatches

That’s a few years away. This team needs a top tier talent now.

Diggs Hopkins Davis Harty > McKenzie & Brown Sherfield > Crowder & Kumerow Shakir In this scenario going into the draft, I’d consider offering Gabe Davis + #27 to move up for JSN. He can make an immediate impact…while learning from Diggs and Hop If not, Davis is a very good WR 3 and seemed to be most effective when rotating in and seeing time in the slot

I like Shakir and the signings….but hanging your hat on those guys really isn’t inspiring. acquiring Hopkins would be a massive boost for the vision and drive of this team going forward. the argument can be made Hopkins is still a top 5 WR, along with Diggs. He hasn’t had real strong QB play since Watson

if we don’t make every effort to win this season, the organization is going to be under scrutiny

it’s already been reported they aren’t going to get the 2nd + that they wanted. It’ll be closer to the 5th + 6th that Cooks went for. I say have them retain a lot of $ and give em Oliver + 3rd and maybe toss in a late rounder

If Beane pulls a rabbit out of his hat and accomplishes this…. A top 4 TE in the draft would be very good or swing for the fences, move up and get JSN to immediately contribute while learning from DHop and Diggs for 2-3 years🔥

you really think that after the smoke? It’s at the very least realistic….

there’s no way it was a coincidence. 1.) He heard Bills interest and wanted to have some fun trolling fans or 2.) He knows he’s about to be traded to Buffalo

Hopeful thinking: Deal is very close. Contract being reworked / $ retained being negotiated

you could also have Arizona eat some $ and extend him for 1-2 years

Allen also followed Damien Harris today. Perhaps his 2 newest teammates!?

yes indeed! Pleasant surprise. seems logical that conversations happened before they followed each other

Offer them Oliver, 2024 3rd and 6th they retain 9 Million. $ is a wash this year. We restructure / extend If we wanted to really gun for it: convert the base to a bonus and you’ve actually gained cap space for this year….

likely put it on a timer

this you earlier? “So now we are resorting to just making things up that were not said? Come on dude...I get everyone wants to get Hopkins, myself included, but this is why so much fake info floats around the internet. Could the Bills be interested? Yes. Does this clip PROVE they are interested? Absolutely not.” 🤣
