AZ, which doesn’t have much talent, was willing to let him walk for nothing. If it was 5 years ago, I may be willing to overpay to land him. I’m not sure what he has shown the last few years is worth doing that now. 

You do realize that the Cardinals cutting him is likely an endorsement of the skill he still has left than anything, right?

The Cardinals aren't trying to win this year, if they were, they'd have signed a better QB to play until Kyler is ready.

Cutting him is their way of saying he still has it and would have been good enough to help them win at least a few extra games this year, which they don't want to do.  Their goal is to end up with the #1 pick so they can either trade Kyler (if possible with his contract) or trade the #1 pick for the biggest return in the history of traded draft picks as Caleb Williams would get that kind of offer.

There definitely is some injury concern with him - he's pretty much missed half the season the past 2 seasons. Getting ready to be on the wrong side of 30.

Still think our best shot at ever getting Hopkins is for him to sign a 1 year deal with a top team to chase a ring, Bryce look good as a rookie, and then we sign him to a 2 or 3 year deal next offseason.

Our best SB window begins next season and lasts for 3 seasons while Bryce's rookie contract is on the cap, we need to make sure we have a true #1 WR next year to maximize our chances during that time.

cardinalsb_logo.gif Cardinals cut WR DeAndre Hopkins (updated May 27, 2023)
It's been rumored that the Cardinals have had DeAndre Hopkins on the trading block. With absolutely no leverage, Hopkins was released, as no one wanted to trade for a 31-year-old receiver with a massive contract. There will be lots of interest in Hopkins, however, now that he can be obtained at a cheaper price (and with no draft picks exchanged.)

Here are some teams that could sign Hopkins:

billsc_logo.jpg Buffalo Bills: The Bills drafted tight end Dalton Kincaid in the first round, but they're still in need of a receiver to play across from Stefon Diggs.

jetsc_logo.jpg New York Jets: The Jets had interest in signing Odell Beckham until Beckham grew impatient with the Aaron Rodgers trade stalling. They may target another veteran receiver instead.

chiefsc_logo.jpg Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs won the Super Bowl without a real No. 1 receiver, so it's not like they need Hopkins. I'm sure Patrick Mahomes wouldn't mind having him though!

ramsc_logo.jpg Los Angeles Rams: Hopkins may think the Rams are still a Super Bowl contender. He'd be wrong, but he would recognize the dire need the Rams have at receiver outside of Cooper Kupp.

cowboysc_logo.jpg Dallas Cowboys: Jerry Jones wanted to sign Odell Beckham Jr., so I imagine he'd have interest in Hopkins.

eaglesc_logo.jpg Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles need a third receiver. An offense with Hopkins, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith would be disgusting.

giantsc_logo.jpg New York Giants: The Giants have an improved offense, but they didn't find a No. 1 wideout for Daniel Jones.

Not that this means anything, but someone on twitter said Laviska followed Hopkins on social media. This off-season, it seemed like any wr that was signed started following our guys, this includes them following young before the draft as well. Again, it doesn’t always mean anything, but it’s still interesting. Of course, Laviska could have followed him a long time ago and someone is just stirring poo on online.

    • All I know is that it won't be boring. A win or two along the way and this team is suddenly in the mix throughout the season. It has been a long, long time we could say that at Thanksgiving. And that late bye of ours could give us a mighty leg up. If we can make it to it.
    • True, 12 man money league here….he is still sitting out there.  Projected to have a worse fantasy day than Davis Mills, Tyrod Taylor, Mason Rudolph that join him on the waiver wire 
    • Yes to some degree, but the whole point of the video was that that applies to almost all QBs coming out of college. It’s not a Bryce specific problem. And those retreads you’re talking about may not have learned how to take those snaps from center yet either. They’re all growing/going through that process.    Bryce absolutely was part of the problem his rookie year (and continues to be part of the problem) but Frank Reich and company committed coaching malpractice. It truly was a lost year.    So really the question now is do you give him more time to learn or do you think there’s a better option out there. Maybe there is a retread that would be better for us, and maybe there’s a unicorn college QB that won’t have the same issues. But maybe there’s not.  I have no problem having Bryce on the roster next year or the following on his 5th year option if we don’t think there’s a better alternative. Hopefully bring in some competition of course, but give it a bit more time to see if he can improve.
