 The NFL's kind of like succession and a lot of drama in the front office and all of that's going on in Arizona, right? That could be a whole show and clown show in and of itself and here's I mean It's clown shows. I'm not calling the Arizona Cardinals a clown show. I'm saying that's from it's actually from succession When they're picking a president in season three, okay? Deander Hopkins I'm gonna say it's quietly and granted I was away for the weekend But I hear when things happened or there's like oh this might happen before the weekend this they outright released him That's a little crazy to me and there you'd think there were other options. They could try to find somebody to trade with And this isn't I guess this is official, huh? All right. It's not it's not totally official yet So apparently they haven't put in the paperwork it So there's a small tiny chance that they could make a trade before 4 p.m. Today But it sounds like as of 4 p.m. Today, it'll be official official Well either way the sweepstakes are on for one Deander Hopkins And there's two teams that probably have some interest Albert Breer saying the chiefs okay the chiefs and the bills They were the two teams to sort of engage in talks trade talks for him before this release And I would think that means they'll both be interested now that he's on the available open market And they can just make deals with them directly now I've been in my case with the bills and I said this is where he needs to go They should get aggressive for him and his services their passing numbers fell off a cliff in a weird way and Josh Allen ranked 22nd passer rating over the second half of the season following Halloween So I think we are going to see a lot more teams get involved now that he's on the open market Then the chiefs then the bills and they're gonna have to start figuring that out And they don't have to worry about navigating. What was it nearly 30 million dollar cap hit? I Mean he's not be like on sale now No, he's still gonna get a big deal But that that 30 million dollar cap hit you're you know it puts teams in a rough spot because you there have to deal with That and make room for that or you have to rework a deal and make a big commitment to him going forward So yeah, let's take a look at what some of the teams that are rumored as potential landing spots For Deandre have in terms of space right now go for it Yeah, so you get the Lions with around 24 million dollars to play with the Jameson Williams suspension as people Speculating that they might get aggressive make a move like this the Ravens almost 12 mil Lamar did have Deandre on his list apparently he wanted the Ravens to sign nuke and OBJ Before he signed his extension so you wonder if they're still in play the Cowboys have 10.6 million Trio of Deandre CD Lamar remember branded cooks is there now that could be exciting the Jets only have a little over 6 million to play with That would be crazy, but Hopkins did say you want some great quarterback and a great defense so Yeah, and then the bills and chiefs don't have a lot of money. That's what's interesting there They're the two teams that we know for sure are interested, but they're at the bottom of that list If you that's what he wants what's driving him he wants a great deep into a great quarterback That doesn't sound like I want a big bag of money that sounds like I want to win a Super Bowl Yeah, and I'm sure he's not going to take too much of a discount. I'm sure he still wants to get paid in some form But okay Giants don't have a ton of space. I would like that move too. I would like to see the giant Maybe take a look the bills. Listen, I Still remain they should get him be the most aggressive of everybody, but the Ravens thing It's always for Ravens adding receivers. Yes, they did a lot and they've added a ton You know, we've got the OBJ and Bateman But given their injury histories that are a thing if I'm Eric de Costa and I always like to pretend that I am and he happens To hate that I like to pretend that I am listen And if I'm Deandra Hopkins the chance to get to play in this offense in this new offense By the way more passing less running says Lamar himself, right with the former MVP A guy who could be an MVP easily again and do it in a whole different way this year beckum mark Andrews That's pretty sexy Yeah, it has to be an attractive option to him. We know he loves Lamar, too We know that's one of the quarterbacks. He talked about playing with so I you know again It's gonna be a money thing. They don't have a ton to play with but I think they could make it happen And I think that gets interesting There's another team to me that I think would be really intriguing and make a lot of sense I think the Cowboys and I know he's kind of been back and forth on deck He's worked out with deck in the past Deandre But he had some kind of negative things to say about him more recently So I don't know where he stands But remember deck tied for the league lead with 15 interceptions last year as you said time and time again This offense hasn't been the same since some since a Mario Cooper left And they have a top five defense as well. Don't forget. So they have that and I think if you're the Cowboys If you're not gonna go in go all in right now, when is it gonna happen? They have so many pieces if this could be the piece that puts them in contention in the NFC You're competing with the Eagles. You're competing with the Niners. You need that firepower Who do you guys think let me let us know add up an Adam show Ravens or bills or Cowboys Is there any other wild carting like nobody has the money? Yeah, I mean don't really have the money Yeah, yeah, but you know how the cap is you can always find ways I want out the cardinal side of this right because they if they had waited until after June 1st to release him Then they could have spread the cap it over two years instead They get the whole thing this season which is kind, you know Rebuild mode entirely because that was what we're saying like they're playing the long game here Kyler is gonna miss significant time Which we know then we got the de hop then the cards adding the you know the Texans first round pick They could have two top 10 picks over 60 million in cap space to play with in free agency So we don't like to use the tank word around here, but this seems to be Let's hang back here. Yeah, let's just kick it. Yeah, because again not knowing when Kyler is coming back dealing with that Uncertainty dealing with some of the other roster issues. They have new coach new GM it's a fresh start and Yeah, you have to wonder if this is just really signaling. Let's line things up for the future now. What's going Buddha We'll see. I mean it sounds like they're talking. They're trying to work something out. I at this point You don't at this point trade Buddha Right Yeah, or he's saying get a deal down with it But at this point with what this what this team is like he's still young though He could be the cornerstone you kind of build around on defense when another team is Super Bowl this year Like what do I mean? Where could he go Philly? Yeah, can they afford him and they still make it make it work Yeah, because remember that Jalen hit isn't that big this year so they can fit him in
