Asking Price For Hopkins Dropped? Hopkins Granted Permission to Talk to Other Teams.

[Tranquilo]

He looked good when he came back. And he also dominated in the slot early on. Would be an awesome complement to Garrett Wilson.

Weird.  I feel like this cant be real.  For that price, you would think teams would be lining up.  If this is real, this is a nobrainer for the Jets.

Wonder if another suspension coming?

Hopkins has a non-guaranteed base salary of $19.45 million for 2023, and a non-guaranteed base salary of $14,915,000 for 2024. He surely will be looking for a raise, given the current market at the position. The team that trades for him will need to realize, and accept, that wrinkle.

What's the wrinkle?  That the team who trades for him, will have to pay him money?  I think it's common to pay players money for their services.

For what though?  Wasnt the last one just performing enhancers?  I dont recall a lot of drama out of him prior.

Same thing?  Maybe got caught again?  It's the only logical reason, IMO.

The thought of having Wilson and Hopkins on the field at the same time might even make Zach a viable option.

Possibly, I guess, though I feel like these dudes are super careful after one pop...but who knows?  Could be...

might I suggest a call to Joe Douglas?

Trade for Lamar, trade of Hopkins, win 5 straight Super Bowls

His contract is an albatross.

He'll be 31 in June.

Would be an all-in move for Super Bowl or bust in '23.

Rather have OBJ than Hopkins. Hopkins contract would have to be renegotiated and he might not want that. He doesn’t look good anymore either. OBJ will cost much less, has higher upside and allow us to get other guys, considering Rodgers cap hit as well. Not a smart move to sign two WRs with high contracts when we have other holes.

love the player - can the jets afford him and Rodgers?

Yes because the cap isn’t real.

Is the defense really top 5 though? Deep down, every jet fan knows what they saw. They saw opposing offenses playing extremely conservative and playing not to lose because they knew the jets offense wouldn’t be able to score. Teams were literally taking the 4th quarter off. 

Whatever.  D is good enough plus we can add to it in the draft and some decent FA’s.  All of the major needs on D are at cheap positions.

Grab a pass rusher in the draft (since this regime will always be adding those), upgrade the LB corps, add another Safety into the mix and let’s roll.

[jetstream23]

I mean, who on Earth just a few months ago had the possibility of Aaron Rodgers throwing to Deandre Hopkins on the Jets?

Garrett Wilson in the slot on 50% of his snaps would be an inordinate advantage for the Jets in a passing game.

I wasn’t implying it wasn’t a good defense. I’m just saying I think people, especially the fan base, kind of ignore what they were seeing because the rankings looked so good. This defense will get better and could actually be a legit top 5 defense if they stay on track. 

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

There is often a fine line between "opportunity" and being a sucker.

In this case, I'd rather see another team be the one to bail the Cardinals out of their poor decision.

[playtowinthegame]

I'll take OBJ for no draft compensation and a lighter contract. 

[THE BARON]

sign the beast

[GreenFish]

I prefer OBJ since he will be likely half the cost. Both are injury risk but the difference in contract can be used sign a veteran player to our DL. So OBJ + Calais > Hopkins.

If Hopkins wasnt an injury risk, this would be a no brainer.

[TommyT]

J.D., this would be disingenuous.

[undertow]

Hopkins isn't in his prime anymore, injured a lot and wants a new contract at 18 per....pass.

Hopkins had a down year because he missed six games and kyler was out and not playing at his usual level for most of the season. Hopkins had third stringers throwing to him some games and still looked amazing. You guys who think he’s cooked are crazy. He was never a burner; he’s just big and an amazing route runner. He’s the guy you get that can win you a playoff game and more.
