ESPN just now: only one team interested in Hopkins

dpinzow : 3/13/2023 12:17 pm
Dianna Russini on ESPN said that there is only one team interested in trading for Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins. I wonder if the Giants are the one team. If true that means there isn't much of a market for him
Not really surprising

High priced 31 year old WR aren't really that attractive in general no matter how good they were.
31 year old

Who never practices, constantly with ham string issues, not sure Giants do that, despite his obvious talent.
I hope not

It likely boils down

To if and then what he's looking for in new money. His current contract is actually pretty good for an acquiring team so there's a point of draft comp where it would work as a high priced bandaid for this team. Any new contract with him is a little dicey imo.
This is a tough one.

He looked pretty darn good last year when he came back but the fear that he's just about to be done is there for sure. For arguments sake, if its the Giants I would try to trade for a younger WR or sign OBJ before I would do this. I'd be in no rush and would keep this as plan C or D.

I don't think both are needed. Hodgins, Wan'Dale, hopefully a couple draft picks, maybe one of SHep or Collin Johnson and a true number one is good enough.

That's funny - that seems to describe the Giants WRs fairly well.......
This is the start of silly season,

take all of these reports with a large grain of salt. This could be a leak by a team hoping to keep the price down.
I hope not the Giants

If it is a leak it’s probably the Cardinals trying to create a market for Hopkins who has a big cap hit and is on the wrong side of 30
