I really believe he will end up in Cleveland. They have the money and the need for another decent receiver.

Right because clearly we're at the stage of bringing in other WRs for workouts to see if he gets jealous, not sure what stage is after that.

I'm back to being tired of this story and I'm also of the mind that he's going to go to some Browns/Patriots/Lions type team where he can justify the money because they convince him he makes them a contender...  That said, these tweets from reporters are all nothing.. they keep saying nothing.  

 

What is this?  We're listening, watching and have had conversations?  Ok... Who is "all in", anyone?  If so, who?  If not, why would we be all in when everyone else is pulling the same recruiting/negotiation tactics?

* hypothetical odds as of 5/30/2023

 

Hopkins tormented the Buffalo Bills with his 43-yard "Hail Murray" touchdown catch with two seconds left to give the Cardinals a 32-30 victory in 2020. Maybe he returns to Buffalo, this time as a prime target for QB Josh Allen instead of as the enemy.

If this is accurate then his agent is trying to draw up interest that just isn’t in places he thought it would be

One thing is certain, DHop is Not a character/Process guy. I think the Bills are backing away and I’m beginning to agree with this. 
 

Stay healthy, Stefon.

In other news.... I am NOT all in on today's lunch. I've listened/watched/had conversations....but I'm not jumping into those calories.  It's a bigger story amongst the chefs and bakers than my co-workers

Really? There are at least 3 Bills who have vocally wanted him here and 2 more if you include their interactions on IG.

Do you think they give a blank about "character/process" ? No. They want a Championship

Don't know if that's the case, it's possible to some degree. Since it only has been a day or so that he got released it's possible he's pretty much just getting started with exploring how that interest stacks up. 

 

I mean I would think there is likely more interest now since he got released than there was before having to trade for him.

Quote

DeAndre Hopkins probably isn’t joining the Buffalo Bills.

 

Three executives from around the NFL, some with direct knowledge of what the free-agent receiver wants in his next contract, inform The Athletic the Bills simply don’t have enough salary-cap room to accommodate Hopkins’ terms.

 

The league executives were granted anonymity so they could speak freely about Hopkins’ situation.

 

One of those sources called Buffalo “a long shot” to land Hopkins. The Arizona Cardinals released him last week, snuffing a contract with a base salary of $19.45 million this season. Two of the executives said Hopkins wants a deal similar to what the Baltimore Ravens gave Odell Beckham Jr., who signed a one-year deal worth $15 million guaranteed with another $3 million in incentives.

 

The Bills have been interested in Hopkins and closely monitoring his status the past six weeks. Hopkins recently hired agent Kelton Crenshaw, but before that was representing himself — with the help of uncertified agent Saint Omni — in trade talks the Cardinals permitted Hopkins to explore. The Athletic has confirmed Bills general manager Brandon Beane spoke with Hopkins directly. Crenshaw did not respond to an interview request.

 

Hopkins publicly has expressed a strong desire to play with Bills quarterback Josh Allen, but one of the league executives, who has communicated with Hopkins’ camp, said his preferred passer won’t supersede his preferred payout.

 

Buffalo currently has under $2 million in cap space after signing all of its draft picks and signing veteran tackle Brandon Shell on Thursday.
