NFL: ***2023 NFL offseason***
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
Not traditionally the way the Steelers do business...but he would fit incredibly well with the Steelers right now...young QB with a young crop of receivers...he would be an ideal addition.
Weren't the rumors around draft time that the Cards were asking for a first rounder for DH? And they end up releasing him?

His cap number was really high, if I recall correctly. Not sure how the numbers would have worked out, had he been traded, but depending on how it was structured, a team might have acquired him, but the Cards would have still been paying part of his salary, so he would be fairly cheap. At his best, Hopkins was one of the top 5 receivers in the league. He hasn't been that in a while, tho, and he's on the wrong side of 30.
Cardinals are looking at a pretty crappy year, so they bite the bullet and get his dead money off the books in a year when they won't be competitive, anyway.
Bills and Chiefs have basically no cap space.. So he'd sign a 1 year deal to win a title before testing free agency. It'll be interesting for injured 31 year old, what free agency can bring
If the Texans don't greatly improve there is a strong chance the Cards could have the first two picks of the draft next spring!
Arizona would be idiots if they didn't trade Murray and draft Caleb Williams #1 and hope Houston's pick yields them Marvin Harrison Jr
Agree but not sure it will be easy to find a team to take on that Murray contract.

Maybe for fans, although there is a months required notice, which helps some. Players already play Thursdays so makes no difference .
