I've seen other teams rumored to get players and this picture appears. Seems like lots of fans from other teams lurk here.
I'll agree, if we do sign him... what does that mean for Bourne? Hop is is still elite, still can route run, still has great hands and speed. He likely will choose between Bills or Chiefs unfortunately...I am kind of sour on him I don’t want him if it means losing a good young WR.
For me only Parker’s spot is open for grabs.
I’d rather develop Boutte.
I'd take Hopkins over Parker any day.I'll agree, if we do sign him... what does that mean for Bourne? Hop is is still elite, still can route run, still has great hands and speed. He likely will choose between Bills or Chiefs unfortunately...
Oh absolutely, I was referring to boune.. I'd still like KB to be part of this team regardless.I'd take Hopkins over Parker any day.
With whoever offers him the most bucks.Where does he end up?
ken you can't get something for nothing Juju was a step we need more: Juju is not the outside WR D-Hop is. We have to keep up with the competition especially in our Division. Mac is the kind of QB that will look good with Good players around him...not the other way around We have the $$$$$.Over the last 3 years Hopkins has fallen from being a top 10 WR in the league to be "merely" a good one. Yes, we probably COULD do a two year contract and push most the cap consequence into next year, which is what any team will do to sign him.
My guess is he'll take a 2 year $20MM deal from one of the top competitors, or something closer to a 2 year $30MM from the likes of us. I doubt he's even a possibility here given the friction between him and BOB (assuming the dislike is actually exists).
Is ti worth an estimated $20+MM cap hit next year for a WR who is now JUST a good, aging, and injury prone WR in a year where you are still building you program? I don't think so, even if he WANTED to come here, which he evidently doesn't. So that pretty much sums it up. All that being said I WOULD consider signing him to a $5MM contract with another $5+million in playing an performance incentives. But do you REALLY see Hopkins signing a deal like that?
I hope this will end up being a rather short thread and we can spend our time talking about things that may actually concern the Patriots.
IF the Patriots aren't real players in this scenario I will be very disappointed. Getting a player like D-Hop is the difference between being a Meh Team or very good Team...Let's not waste the Defense again this year BB we have a good one that can get even better.We need to pursue 1) to upgrade the wr room as well as 2) driving up the price tag for KC and Buffalo.
Dark Horse prediction? Raiders ... Adams on one side, Hop on the other.My darkhorse bet is Dallas. Jerry Jones likes to collect shiny fancy toys.
