Ask Erie County Bills

I've been thinking that Hopkins would get traded the week before the draft. Dunno about that though. Now my best guess is that Hopkins is making the Cards cut him by not working with teams on his current contract. That's probably the smartest move for him. Get on the open market and let teams bid on your services without having to factor in draft compensation. Still, if he knows where he wants to go and his agent knows his value a deal should get done.

I was hoping the delay had been Beane gave a take it or leave it best offer and AZ is hoping someone comes in and beats it prior to the draft.  The problem I have with that thought is I believe in order to afford DHop we would have to move Oliver.  And it seems that would be hard to have all lined up.

He might have other restructures available and ready to pull the trigger should a deal be reached (unlikely but possible). 
 

It’s pretty cool to have an owner so consistently happy to shell out cash to help us win. Thank you Terry and Kim. Regardless if they do so again this year, they’ve shown a willingness to cut the check and do whatever it takes.

I agree. @TOboy has a good point about DHop reworking his contract. That would have to be in place regardless. As for Oliver we’d be selling very low because teams would know we have to find a way to dump his salary. It just makes a lot more sense to finalize the deal before the draft. The Bills would be wise to have a deadline of early next week for a deal. Otherwise they have to plan their draft accordingly.

He can do something subtle like post a pic of him eating wings on Instagram.

You traded Ed Olive again!!!! Good job man. You are a master GM though I think we might be giving up too much. 
 

also, congrats on 200 pages!!! We did it!

Think this proves there's some smoke, just hope he doesn't go to KC

Is it me or were the Bills the preferred choice with KC 2nd? 
 

Nothing earth shattering or shocking in that, but encouraging nonetheless.

Yea, this thread is reaching 300.

I think D'Andre Hopkins got Britt pregnant and Josh slept with a bartender.  Stefon Diggs gained possession of sonograms of Britt and the bartender.  Bills are using the sonograms to force Josh to take a pay cut so they can afford Hopkins.  Also, the cops came to Josh's house either at Halloween or the night before the Bengals game because someone was throwing objects and missing their target. No word on who this was but Jordan Palmer was called in for a consultation after the incident.

Well that seals it! He will be a Bill on draft day. That’s my prediction.

His reaction to the Bills was better than the Chiefs in my opinion

Pull the string Beane.  This WR draft class is trash.

Really? I see about 12 guys I’d be pretty excited about. Including a few in the mid and late rounds

Don't pull the string, that's how things unravel. 😉

I think the Bills will add someone but like Shakir and Gabe they won't be a #2 or what we need in a 1B option next to Diggs. We will have a team full of "just a guy"' and we don't need a bunch of WR3-5

Beane doesn’t have the guts.
