    No one knows. But we do know it wasn't enough to sign him. He was looking for OBJ + money. Did NE offer him that? Based on BB's track record I'd say no.

    Probably not, but again I'm sure it was a lot more than contending teams were offering. They are no longer the place where free agents will take less to play. Thankfully.

    You know, there is someone who is still out there and could come for a fraction of the price. A one year prove it deal for Kenny Golladay could be low risk high reward venture for the bills. Yeah, he didn't work out with the Giants, but he was a very good receiver for the lions. I think it would be a good signing.

    I've heard reports that he's checked-out after getting the big money deal.

    Honestly not too interested in Hopkins.

    He's going to be expensive and I don't know that his production (at this point in his career) would be all that much better than what Davis brings to the table.

    Unless the plan is to let Diggs go and replace him with Hopkins, I don't know that it makes that much sense... Even then, the fall off in production would be tough to swallow as Diggs is a superior player.

    Makes Tennessee a little bit better. They missed Brown last season.

    Re: D Hop released

    Now we know. Money was more important to DHop than winning.

    I guess that $15M he was looking for was not forthcoming from anyone.

    Like I
    said less than two weeks ago...."The fact remains that if the Bills really wanted him, they would have signed him already".

    If winning (or seriously competing for) a SB was more important than money, he would have taken less (than the already lower price) and signed with the Bills or KC.

    There were
    reports just days ago that the Bils were still interested, but he had to get real about the price. The report citing as being “known in league circles” (that means every team knew) that the Bills “have a price in mind they won’t exceed”.

    I guess DHop never got real with that price.

    Hmmmmm....I wonder what that price was for the Bills??? $12M....$11M...$10M????

    I’m glad he did not meet the Bills price. An aging diva, who hates to practice and has had recent injury issues the past two seasons, with a bum knee (not good for a WR).

    He was supposed to be the missing piece in Arizona, turning Murray into a viable QB. How did that work out???

    Now, I guess, he’s supposed to bring Tannehill back from his aging mediocrity?!?!? If Tennessee was serious about winning they never would have traded AJ Brown...who now has a SB ring.


    I suspect that Jax is not feeling that threatened. Sure looks like they may run away with the AFCS title. ****, Indy might surpass the roster depleted Titans if Richardson is anything better than crap.

    Which begs the question: how does this make sense for Ten? It’s a lot of money and it doesn’t make them a contender.

    It wreaks of the Bills signing TO. It’ll make headlines and get their fans excited, but they’re still mediocre as a team.

    I find it hilarious. I despise Ten as much as I despise our Div rivals because of the Music City Mirage.

    Well....it does not make much sense.

    It’s very similar to the Julio Jones trade in 2021.
