When will DeAndre Hopkins be traded?

[Woodman]

It has been a given for weeks that the Cardinals will be giving receiver DeAndre Hopkins to a new team, via an inevitable trade. So when will it happen, and where will he go?
Former NFL defensive back Pacman Jones, who has an obvious pipeline to Hopkins, said on Wednesday’s edition of The Pat McAfee Show that Pacman’s “sources” say it will be the Chiefs or Bills, either on Wednesday night or “definitely” on Thursday.

Re: When will DeAndre Hopkins be traded?

Hopkins recently made it clear that he’d be interested in joining either team. More recently, Hopkins heaped praise on Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Bills receiver Stefon Diggs, and the entire organization.
Beyond trade compensation, the question is whether his contract would be revised. He tweeted earlier this month that he doesn’t want a raise, before deleting it.
And the Bills know what Hopkins can do. He caught the game-winning touchdown pass in an epic finish against Buffalo during the 2020 regular season.

My prediction is Oliver is part of the deal. We have seen 2 big trade rumors all offseason, Oliver to AZ and Hopkins to buffalo. It seems that they have interest in Oliver and we have interest in Hopkins, so there has to be something there

Potential Cardinals, Titans deal for No. 3 overall pick could include DeAndre Hopkins - ProFootballTalk

Whether the Titans want him isn’t known. But the Cardinals would like to include him.
Hopkins has been linked most prominently with the Chiefs and Bills. There’s no indication he’d want to play for the Titans, who presumably would take a quarterback (likely, C.J. Stroud) with the third overall pick.
Hopkins had a no-trade clause in his deal, but it was reportedly wiped out by his PED suspension in 2022. Still, there would be some risk in trading for a high-profile player who doesn’t to be traded to that team.

Maybe Baltimore signing Jackson is precursor to a draft deal.

Hot take...

he won't be traded.

Re: When will DeAndre Hopkins be traded?

His contract makes it pretty unrealistic for the Bills with their cap situation.

He'll be released.

If the Jets can get Rodgers 51M down to a 1M cap hit, I'm pretty sure that if we want to, we can make it happen.

Re: When will DeAndre Hopkins be traded?

I haven’t the slightest idea if Hopkins will be traded or not. It would be quite challenging for the Bills with the cap. But, never say never in today’s NFL.

But...this sounds more realistic.....

Hot take...

he won't be traded.

.....than this.....

My prediction is Oliver is part of the deal. We have seen 2 big trade rumors all offseason, Oliver to AZ and Hopkins to buffalo. It seems that they have interest in Oliver and we have interest in Hopkins, so there has to be something there

Not saying that Cali is going to be wrong....or that Pink will be correct. They could both be wrong.

Tasker said today that it will have nothing to do with the draft.

Next week, the two teams will talk turkey.

Whoever ends up with Hopkins has some work to do. $$$$$

Exactly what I'm thinking.

Cards wanted way too much for him and they're gonna be stuck dumping him.

Re: When will DeAndre Hopkins be traded?

I know Kincaid is a TE and Hopkins is a WR, but they’re both offensive skill players/big receivers. I can’t imagine the Bills spending more resources to trade for Hopkins when they haven’t done anything to address the trenches.

1) I can’t imagine the Bills spending more resources to trade for Hopkins ..................... 2) when they haven’t done anything to address the trenches.

1)After the draft.

2) What?
