I would 100% be on board with this but the whole reason he wants out is his contract no? An extension he just signed 2 years ago? 

That's what concerns me. If he is expecting 25million per season when he'll be 31 at the start of the season... I'm out on that. I'd rather take that money and spend it on Lamb, Higgins, or any of the younger guys coming through the next couple seasons.

Great players are highly paid.

 

You guys can't expect to get great players for cheap. Nuk is a #1 WR my man.

No disagreement. He immediately is our best receiver since 08 Smitty. 

That said - how long is he going to be a great player. If he wants a deal paying him 25-30 million for longer than a year or two, 3 max (even that I don't feel great about that) then I'm out. 

Take that money and put it towards one of the top young guns in FA next year who will be in Nuks situation now at the end of their contract rather than the beginning.

3 years is not a longterm commitment. I think he will be elite for at least 3 more years if that's what you're asking.

 

Im saying get a #1 WR because we have a rookie QB. You don't want him to start his career off slow because he has a lack of weapons. Every QB needs a go to WR or TE.

 

3 is the absolute most that I would want. 

But what if he wants 5? What if he wants 4 tacked on in addition to his existing contract with high guaranteed money? Thats where I start to get a bit worried. 

I would give our 3rd in a heartbeat for him to come here and just play out the last 2 years on his contract. No questions asked. I just worry thats not what we'd be getting. 

And I agree, surround our QB with an embarrassment of riches on the offensive side of the ball. Do the exact opposite of what Hurney and Rivera did for Cam's career. 

I just dont know that 5 years and 250 million dollars for Hopkins AND whatever capital we are sending out is the best way to do that

There is no chance he's looking for a 5 year deal.lol

 

He's looking for a 3 year deal at top WR money. That is a fair deal considering he's still a elite talent. For a 3rd round pick we just got a better WR than what we had with DJ.

3 years 25 mil for a 3rd sign me up. No question.

lol no way he signs that.

 

We just payed Hurst that kind of contract. Hopkins is a #1 WR bro.lol

 

More like 3 years 45mil 

Sorry thought the inference was obvious but I'd meant 3 years 25 PER so a total of 3/75

3/45 is less than he's making now. He wants that Tyreke Hill/Devante Adams money.

also someone one give me one reason, besides money, that a top WR free agent would want to come to Carolina to play for a bridge/rookie qb and have a very slim chance of getting to the post season for a couple of years.

Have you been following this off-season at all? We are geared to win now if we CAN get that 1 or 2 good / great players.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By MechaZain · Posted

      Or if you're going to bet the farm on a small guy who will get rocked by NFL players on a regular basis he better be special. That's what I heard. Regardless, him being vague about it is kind of my point. Few in the media raised any concerns about Bryce's game outright. His passing ability was highly praised across the board even after Stroud had the more impressive Pro Day. There was the dumb debate around batted balls that eventually got squashed and I remember some game tape blogger types talking about his poor footwork, but even that was hand-waved away because he was a "dynamic playmaker" and we had a respected coaching staff that could fix him.

      Panthers Vs Bucs OFFICIAL THREAD

      By Achilles · Posted

      Seems to me that the Bucs have less fight in them now than they had in week 16. The real test is going to be if the Panthers can sustain focus and discipline throughout. With the Bucs being at home, maybe that gives them a little boost of confidence and energy.  Wouldn’t it be something if for ONCE the Panthers came out and dominated from the opening snap and just took this shook Bucs team to task?  If the Panthers see-saw form follows, we are in line for the W. Hard to say we have momentum but we do have a pretty clear pattern of following a loss with a win.  I’m going to say 24-16 Panthers!!
