DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 How the Broncos' desire for more draft picks affects Jerry Jeudy's future League sources, including some with teams that have been in contact with the Broncos, have said so far the Broncos have been resolute about getting a first- or second-round pick in any deal that involved Jeudy. The Broncos must decide by May 1 -- two days after the draft concludes -- if they are going to pick up Jeudy's fifth-year option. 13 minutes ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Beane to Jerry Juedy: “You up?”

I think more often than not, it's the player's agent, as they always seem to gain out of it. If the Cards don't want to eat any salary, the asking price is too high. It probably is anyway, even if they were prepared to eat all this year's salary. With a new GM and HC, and a contract with 3 years on it, I feel it's now or never for Hopkins to be traded. The new regime will either decide to let him see the deal out, or trade him this year. It's a relatively easy option to just trade him and get his numbers off the books, yet I don't see that that is as a necessity. Knowing where you are with him for the next three years, also gives certainty, of a different kind, but still lends itself to a long term plan.

There are some terrible/desperate front offices out there. Watsons contract is an example.
TOboy Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 I’d do a 2, but I actually think a 3 gets this done. Would be even better if it were from next year’s draft. This leak is all posturing.
Milanos Milano Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Just do it, nobody is going to care about the 2nd and 3rd when we win a super bowl this year. 1 minute ago, TOboy said: I’d do a 2, but I actually think a 3 gets this done.

Gotta do it A 2nd and a 3rd for that contract is insane. Id be tempted if the price was a 3rd (singular), given they seem to be requiring the team receiving Hopkins to take on his salary. Anything more than that, and their GM can have fun with Hopkins making his life miserable all year. 1 2
Process Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 I don't think he's gonna go for less than Waller. I'm giving them our 3rd, but nothing more. 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 The way people over value draft picks is embarrassing. A 2nd and a 3rd for one of the 15 best WRs in football? Nah let’s keep them. It’s nothing to piss away those picks on rotational Dlineman that give you almost nothing year after year….yeah that’s no big deal, reload and try again. But here’s a guy that can probably help you win a Super Bowl? And we are thinking that’s too much? Come on. 1 1 1

We still need to add to the defense and the OL. We only have 6 picks. If we give up that for Hopkins, AND have to find a way to navigate his salary, we'd be in trouble. 1
Low Positive Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 The more I think about this, the more that I’m sure that Beane leaked this. He sees all the rumors and chatter out there and wants to temper expectations.

Jeudy gets open more and slightly better yac. But Hopkins has unreal hands, among the best in the league. The issue Bills receivers had last year was drops 2

Buffalo03 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 I wonder if when the Cardinals realize they won't get that if they will call us back in a few weeks or maybe draft night to do something. It was said we were the leader and had the best offer on the table. Just because it's not done now, doesn't mean it won't be a month from now

Yeah I’d do the 2nd for 2023 and the 3rd for 2024. Why would we give up more for Hopkins now than the Cardinals did 4 years ago? Hard pass if that’s what they want. Go get Jeudy for the same price or trade up in the draft to get your WR at a controlled cost. 3 1

Hard pass if that’s what they want. Go get Jeudy for the same price or trade up in the draft to get your WR at a controlled cost. Because we need this. We need another weapon for Allen and we have a 2 year window before we have to retool. We don’t have time to hope we hit on a WR in the draft that can give you want Hopkins can. 1

Imagine being hung up on value semantics, it’s why we will never win a super bowl. There are teams where you need those extra picks and you don’t move them for a Vet at an advanced age. There are also teams where you don’t have a ton of open roster spots annyway and it’s not really even sensible to draft 6+ guys. We are a player or two away from winning the Super Bowl. Do it. Then the next offseason, go full send on getting younger. Win 1. You have to get 1. You can’t have Josh be the Kelly 2.0 and never even finish one. Get a championship then you buy at least 5 years here. That sounds dumb but it’s true. You win 1 and it probably buys both Beane and McDermott at least 5 free years here. It probably gives your franchise 20 in the eyes of fans. 1
