Deandre Hopkins Visiting Patriots Next Week

[Kasmir]

Does this mean we won't have to listen to you complain until next Spring? I mean.. Since you've written them off already, you're not going to actually watch the games are you?

It means he will enjoy vindication with our losses. I've noticed that the trolls are silent after our wins. They actively hope for failure.

Can’t be real fans.

Remember last preseason moaners predicting Denver was going to be a juggernaut?

The whiners always reserve their optimism for other teams.

 

[captain stone]

Not sure I understand why he has not taken another visit. Is it that he does not want to or the rest of the NFL don’t think he is any good anymore? Other than AZ, TN, and NE, why has he not visited the Bills as an example? Stefon Diggs can wreck that team any moment .

Let's see if anything happens on Wednesday or Thursday... Two other leagues might be starting their new league year/free-agency period now, but maybe the dude just wants to enjoy the long Independence Day weekend, then get back to business afterwards...

You're the one trying to ruin the thread... But that's your norm. Blame others for what you do.

I like cheerleaders.

And here's why I believe the Pats will indeed sign Hopkins - if we don't make the playoffs, welcome to Belichick on Hard Knocks.

The grunting and snorting would be legendary. I'm all for it.

 

[Real fan 02]

Yep and we NEED D-Hop more than the Bills.

Diggs is working his way out of town the same as he did in Minnesota.. he has the best chance to compete for a title in Buffalo with Allen.. I don't buy the everything is worked out comments from McDermott.. he's a fabulous WR one of the best route runners I've seen. However it's gotta be all about him and his targets.

I wonder how long before the time bomb explodes .. when Sauce locks him up when they play jets ? or when gonzo locks him up?.. the Bills have in my opinion another great WR in Gabe Davis the guys a big game player and I don't believe he's appreciated enough there. I'll take him!!!

I hope we don't become the early 90s Browns.. that would be depressing as a franchise.. we need this season more than anything to look like a team to be wrekoned with.

That's not an accurate analogy. The Browns were never a successful franchise. The Patriots were.

.. We WERE a successful franchise.. what I'm saying is hope we don't become them.. very well could happen to any franchise..

As someone who plays fantasy football and currently has him on my dynasty team, Davis is not that guy. He had that big playoff game against the Chiefs a year and a half ago that everyone remembers but much of that was from blown coverage. I’ll share a link that has a breakdown to why Davis is overrated as an NFL starting receiver:

2023 Buffalo Bills Fantasy Preview

Patrick Daugherty breaks down the 2023 Bills from every angle, including the passing game, running game and win total.

www.nbcsports.com

“Which brings us back to 2023. Gabe Davis is still the No. 2, but we now know it is a role for which he is miscast. Although Davis’s Week 1 ankle injury cast a long shadow over his 2022 production, it’s not a sufficient explanation for him commanding fewer than 100 targets in 15 games. Next Gen Stats charted supposed deep threat Davis as averaging only 2.8 yards of separation, placing him in the bottom third of the league and behind names like Nico Collins and Trent Sherfield . He was spotted an average of just 5.4 yards of cushion, a screaming lack of respect from opposing corners. His 1.43 yards per route run placed 56th amongst wideouts. Davis barely even contributed big plays. His 11 receptions of 20-plus yards were tied for 30th.”

Davis has success on vertical routes but not much elsewhere. Also to his credit has a nose for the end zone. But he’s not a complete wideout and definitely wouldn’t take over a game if something were to happen to Diggs. He’s strong as a role player, a WR3 type, but not a reliable go-to option. The Bills invested a first round pick on Dalton Kincaid, while already having a TE in Dawson Knox who they have signed through 2026, because they needed a stronger complimentary receiving threat to Diggs.

I'm a firm believer in the eye test.. to Me that gives me the best barometer when I watch the NFL.. any time Bills have been on TV I always have seen Gabe Davis bail out allen.. he's a big WR, physical with deceptive speed.

He still like most WRs will add to his game. He's been a reliable option for Allen. I just feel he doesn't get enough credit especially when Buffalo outside of Diggs had nobody at the WR position making big plays. Just my thoughts

I believe that the Parker extension is building up to us offering Hopkins a contract.

However it sounds like Hopkins is looking for big money, something in the neighborhood of 15m+3m incentives per year, so I'm not sure it's going to happen but he just looks like a good fit to fill one of the last big needs on the team.

Rumored Hopkins salary demands: Details emerge regarding DeAndre Hopkins' contract demands

Maybe if we give him a multi-year deal, that would lower his average salary per year demands. Because I can see the Patriots paying 15m/per but not 18m/per year.

At this point if you think he is that much of an impact maker are we really squabbling over an extra 3 mill in cap? Especially is the alternative for him to go to a rival?
I don’t see 3 mill being what kills the deal.

That's not an accurate analogy. The Browns were never a successful franchise. The Patriots were.

The Browns were definitely a Successful Franchise it was just long before our time. The Browns won championships 4 times from 1946-1949 in the All-American Football Conference Championships and then in 1950 and 1954&1955 as a part of the NFL. So, for 10 years (1946-1955) they won 7 Championships.

From 1946-1957 (12 years) they went to the Championship game 11 times.

From 1946-1973, they had 1 losing season in 1956.

The Browns actually set a record for number of consecutive times in the Championship game with 10. They also set a record that was broken by the Bills by losing 3 consecutive Championships from 1951-1953(the Bills lost 4).

It's only been since 1974 that the Browns have gone down hill. They've had 32 losing seasons.
