Seems like his market isn’t as robust as everyone thought… maybe he takes a one year prove it deal?

maybe this changes things with a lower asking price? I have a hard time just dipping my toe in the water, may as well dive in and go for this thing. Wilson, Hopkins, Lazard, and hardman is superior to the alternative. Especially with Rodgers throwing him the ball and Breece and co in the backfield.

This is why players have agents. Hopkins agent must have been cringing when Hop said I want to play with these handful of QBs. 
I don’t think his market is where the average fan thinks it is. I think he gets a one year deal like Odell.

Very interested to see what teams make an offer. Breer mentioned the Bills and Chiefs as possibly being interested/potential landing spots, but they will both have to make some moves to clear space for him. When does that happen?

Thought BUF said they’re out?

KC could happen perhaps.

I also think BAL or NYG are a huge possibility as well.

Nobody knows anything. They are all speculating based on a big ball of nothingness. 
 

I think he won’t have a market for a 3 year deal so I think it will drag on.

I didn't see any quote from the Bills, although I did see an article reporting that the Hopkins to the Bills is unlikely because they can't afford him. 

Robert Saleh, on the other hand, sure made it sound like the Jets aren't bringing Hopkins in.

Houston traded him because their management is a dumpster fire and the cardinals seem to be tanking 

 

I have never heard of Hopkins being a bad guy off the field.  Rodgers would be the best qb he has ever played with

really?  Just start the thread from the beginning and find the video that kinda shows us what Hopkins is made of. He sure delivered a bunch of crap at that hotel during draft season.

[Larz]

Looks like his agent leaked a story that the browns are leading the race.

Thank you Joe Douglas for having 0 interest in Deandre Hopkins!  Thank you!!

[EM31]

If the market is sufficiently bad and the price drops enough then I would take a look but that may be the longest of long shots

Hey you got one right!

I’d be interested in seeing DHop go to the Browns, and then trying to get Amari Cooper.

Whatever you say.  Hopkins is now worse than Antonio Brown because jets fans want to overrate their wide receivers

Either way that looks like what’s going to happen

Nothing goes over my head, my reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.

[Bobby816]

My conspiracy theory is that I've heard that Davis just had another baby... so we're waiting to sign DHop and cutting Davis until after the baby is a few weeks old 😉

Hopkins got traded by a completely dysfunctional franchise and released by a team that’s tanking for Caleb.  You have no real evidence he’s a bad locker room guy

From breer’s piece on SI

 

He can’t run anymore,” one source said in the report. “Does not love to practice, I can’t imagine that’ll get any better. And when things don’t go well, you’re always gonna be leery, All right, what kind of drama are we gonna get from this guy? When things are great, he’s great. When things go south, his true colors show a little bit.”

[Larz]

More from Breer’s SI piece 

Kansas City made progress toward a deal, but things went a little sideways when Odell Beckham Jr. got $15 million in base pay from Baltimore, making Hopkins feel like he should land at least that much, given that Beckham didn’t play last year. The Chiefs wound up giving free-agent left tackle Donovan Smith a deal structured similarly to the offer they made Hopkins, which will make it more difficult for Kansas City to circle back.

Let him go to Cleveland, and sign/trade for Amari Cooper.

Then get Kareem Hunt while we’re at it.

Should we also add Peyton Hillis, Josh Gordon, Joe Thomas, Josh Cribbs, Joe Haden and Brian Sipe while we're at it?

All I have on this is hearsay from Rich Cimini.

But he did get suspended for PEDs.

This is interesting because many have ruled out the Jets due to that whole video where Dhop basically says NAH to the Jets. But in the same video he said NAH to the Pats.

Good point. I think his calculation is probably changed now that it’s clear he’ll have to take a substantial pay cut from the contract he was under. Given the latest buzz I don’t think he’ll be too picky about anything other than the money.

hard to be picky when you have limited options

Ian Rappaport and I have vastly different ideas of what the term "heats up" means.

That was before it was obvious that the league is not interested in giving him a huge contract

wouldn't surprise me if there was another PED violation suspension incoming. I would have expected a lot more interest.

Why?  Why do people think teams would be lining up to give this guy a big contract before mini-camps when they have basically said that he doesn't practice?  Seems more like right before the season mercenary to me.  If he sounds like he is buying in during interviews maybe, but I am not surprised there is no big rush with this one.
