BillsFanForever19 Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) It always cracks me up when Hopkins says something about us and everyone freaks out and says "we're back in it!". As someone said earlier, we know he'd like to play with Josh. This isn't news. But we still don't have the money to make it happen. This doesn't make the Cardinals change their stance about wanting to keep him. The only thing this does is get fans excited. Hopkins talking publicly won't change Beane's stance. Unless the Cardinals throw in the towel, agree to trade him for peanuts and pick up a bunch of his contract, or Hopkins is released and willing to take SUBSTANTIALLY less to play with us - nothing has changed. 11 minutes ago, billieve420 said: It is possible they could cut him Post June 1st. Believe they can save up to 20 million against the cap and split his dead money charge over 2 years. So not totally out of the question he could be a FA next month despite what their GM said. Is it possible? Yes. But Beane spreading out cap hits, years beyond his contract ending is not something Beane does or is comfortable with. If it was, he'd have probably done it already.

So is this Adams comment a joke or is there something I missed? just a rumor. He has spoken out making mgmt look foolish, he is getting paid a lot but the cap hit might not be bad, so some have speculated he could be on the move post 6/1 1

The thing is... nobody who he'd want to go to has money. It's not like we're poor and everyone else (Chiefs, Jets, Ravens etc.,) have all this cap. He's clearly on the outs - Yet everywhere he wants to go is cap strapped... Something's gotta give. 1
JohnNord Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 Hopkins is picking up pre-draft: - He wants out of Arizona and want to play for a content - Arizona wants a significant asset - Contenders don’t want to pay Hopkins at his current salary and/or trade a significant asset The way I see it Arizona has three options: - Swallow their pride and just cut him for a better cap situation - Hang onto an unhappy player and hope you can trade him in-season (even though it makes it harder) - Keep ab unhappy Hopkins on the roster all season long

This is like "Fans making something out of Hopkins being in Toronto Part III or IV" in this thread. Guy spends a lot of time there. Probably even has a place up there.

Starr Almighty Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 "I'm trying to play as long as I can so I did my research and studied some of the best people that work on the human body, and Toronto has some of the best people, so I'm up here right now, getting the body examined to where I can go out and perform my best," he said. I want him too, but this is why he's in Toronto 1
