Hadn't seen it before but Gesicki's guy had his hand draped on his forearm but he still held onto the ball. Maybe a certain WR on the Pats should ask him advice on how to not have weak alligator/TRex arms.

I wonder if the Titans would entertain a trade for Hopkins. He's looked decent, but them trading Byard shows they are kind of looking at a reset year. Not a bad contract though, overall, so maybe they'd prefer to keep him for next year. If he's available for trade, a contending team might outbid you.

They are supposedly open to trading him. And the Pats have the cap space to add him. I'm just not sure he'd consider coming here.

Not sure how I feel about this. I know Bill says football players play football but this seems like unnecessarily dialing up the injury risk on a guy who is an injury magnet.

Why not? His free agency was down to NE and Tennessee, and he chose Tennessee presumably because of the contract. If he got traded to NE he'd basically just be going to "Option B" and would still be on the same contract. NE would get to save on the ~$4M signing bonus that Tennessee spent, so they get to save money too which was why he didn't end up in NE originally. No real loser there. Just depends on the draft capital.

I don't know that Hopkins would want to go to a 2-5 team that also has one of the toughest schedules in the league is all I'm saying.

I didn't mention it, but I could see KC being willing to trade for him. Same with Indy (though I doubt the Titans would send him there). I could see Seattle, Cleveland, Detroit, Atlanta, and Tampa being interested in him.. It all depends on what the Titans can get from a team that Hopkins wants to go to.

Aaron Rodgers is also familiar with dolphins but in a different way.
