Many pages of conjecture on the Hopkins romance, and I, for one, think he'd be great for us.  Seriously, what defense could possibly cover all the speed and all-around weapons that we'd have?  But what do we do if the Hopkins trade falls through?  We really really should have a fallback plan/target.  

 

What are realistic options?

Call around the league. Besides OBJ, 

Mike Evans
Jeudy
Kupp (Rams could be open to moving him - he was a Bills fan before he got drafted) 
Aiyuk (unlikely)
DK Metcalf (very unlikely)

Draft.  There are pages describing WR and TE draft prospects who might work

 

Beane has also said the Bills haven't closed the door on OBJ

Dalton Kincaid.

Oh I just meant thread wise, if we don't get Hopkins who is the next offensive player we start a massive thread to pine for?

 

But can he block?

@Sherlock Holmes will be intolerable if we acquire Cooper Kupp.

Pain


Prediction…

 


 

I had to do it.

 

As an aside it’s liars season so not buying anything coming out of the mouths of anyone, not even Beane.

 

I have no idea, but him toning down the hype gets him breathing room.  Supposedly KC is in the hunt on Hopkins as well.

 

KC though has even less cap space than us with $6 mil. Vs. our $10.6.  I know they can always go to the well well of restructure to signing bonus on either team.  I like the Hopkins idea even more that obj, but we’ll see.  I don’t worry about things I can’t control.  It’s a waste of energy.

He's not a great blocker, but I believe he could develop into a real offensive threat. The best blocking TE is Darnell Washington, but he is at best an adequate red zone receiving threat.

 

Maybe Mike Evans is the answer to your question.

it's amusing that the Athletic writers for KC and BUF each put out statements that the teams are unlikely to trade for Hopkins within hours of each others

We've got plenty of options so no need to panic. If Dhop does come then we better not lose more than a 3rd and they need to eat some salary.  If not there's always OBJ or maybe someone promising falls to 27?  I guarantee you Beane will land someone to slot between Diggs & Gabe.

Two weeks ago, no one thought Hopkins was coming here ….don’t remember a lot of panic then

 

There is always panic here; on a 1-10 a rating of 6 is normal.

That's what I was referencing lol. Is Clubber Lang available? Maybe we can get him as a blocking TE. Probably better than what we have
