Being a good teammate is overrated. Produce baby!!!! Or go retire.
New England needs to add speed to all skill positions. I still think Hopkins has something left in the tank but isn’t a fit for that team.
I dont think its overrated at all. certainly you want them to produce at a level where you dont have to bench them. but if the youngsters watch him prepare and get himself ready to play and set a good example it makes it easier for them to figure out where they need to go.
The Chiefs apparently didn’t, because they hardly played the dude.
I thought he was one of their best offensive players in the Super Bowl. Yeah, he had the play you described, but he also had the contested 2 pt and the excellent back shoulder TD. After Worthy, he was probably the best player on the offense in that game.
His contract is up on the 17th and 2025 is a void year.
Against the 3rd string, in the 4th quarter of a blowout.
I doubt anyone will pay him 15M after watching him play last year. I would think it would be much lower, regardless of what Sportac suggests.
fully agree. Ma
yep. hed look good in all of those places.
I think they’re content to let QJ continue to suck at that role.
I think its a case where they thought they'd bring someone in and were not able to do it. My belief is that they will draft a WR this year in one of the top 2 or 3 rounds or they will sign someone and use their top picks to address other needs. it is also possible they draft a WR in round 2 or 3 and bring in someone like Hopkins as a 1 or 2 year filler until they are ready. I actually like that move because Dhop likely isnt big bucks to sign now.
The TD was against Quinyon Mitchell
Ok. What was the score and how much time was left?
I don’t see the Chargers drafting another WR unless it’s late, like 4th ~>
Oh now we’re cooking with gas!
It was after the game was decided sure (the game was arguably decided by halftime) but that's not the point. It clearly wasn't against some 3rd stringer. It was against a guy who only gave up 2 TDs all season prior to Hopkins. 1 to McLaurin, and randomly 1 to Jalen Tolbert. I highly doubt Mitchell was just conceding a TD.
I don’t believe he was playing as if it were a tied game, either. I’m just sayin - you’re acting like that context is irrelevant.
no. I dont think hes wired that way.
I think the defensive scheme was much softer at that point in the game.
I agree up to a point. you play it differently between the 20's. give them the underneath routes and force them to chew up the clock to march it down the field. I get that.. but once its a red zone situation you are no longer giving a cushion.
He's a free agent, so no need to give up anything except money.
Yep. I’m curious what he will value more at this point… The chance to earn a ring or financial security. If he’s just looking to latch on with a contender to try to get a ring, maybe he takes 3-5 million?
Sneaky great move by the Ravens. At the very least he beats the hell out of Nelson Agholor, and there's a good chance being further removed from that knee injury, he's able to be more useful this season. Truth be told I thought KC vastly underused him, not that he should be a focal point, but KC could have been hitting fades and back shoulders to him all season and just opted not to. Dare I say, Baltimore is a better offense, with a better QB.
As a Ravens follower, I like this move. They'll have to do some cap juggling, I think, but I'm sure they've already figured out what they're gonna do there. If they keep Andrews, that's a pretty good receiving group with Flowers/Bateman/Hopkins/Andrews/Likely/Justice Hill. Another plus is that Hopkins gets the entire off-season to get acclimated instead of Baltimore signing someone in July.
