The Lions would be a sneaky good place for him to go.
Come to think of it, the Lions are probably the darkhorse here.
With Jameson Williams suspended to start the season, and losing Chark, it makes a ton of sense. [Reply]

Knowing Veach that may very well be what he'd be more excited about. Would have the #20 and #27 overall selections from the 2021 draft in Toney and Bateman respectively. Each with a possible 3 more years of control on their contracts. Pair that with Moore and Rice and we are in freaking business! [Reply]

Help out an elite running QB, but to Hurts credit as we all saw, he will make the clutch throws at key points to make that offense dangerous. We've never seen how Lamar does with WRs like this.
I dont mind Lamar being loaded with WRs so we can finally put to bed the flimsy narrative that his shortcomings are because he hasn't had WRs to work with. Hurts has done all the right things to progress as a passer. Don't think I've seen any kind of progress from Lamar as a passer. Kind of annoys me that this offseason is going to reinsert Lamar into an elite QB conversation he doesn't belong in. [Reply]

There are other teams where he'd get targets and be the true WR1 but he's not going to have a path to a better contract next year AND a chance at a ring.
If he comes here...he gets both. It'll just be sacrificing money in the now for a chance at more in the future. [Reply]

I read somewhere that they can still trade him until 4PM EST. Maybe by “releasing” him they can get a team to bite on a trade. [Reply]

Maybe. It'd be ballsy, and potentially stupid for the team trading, but maybe.
I guess it would come down to what a team would be willing to give up for him and how much of the contract Arizona would be willing to eat. [Reply]
If a team wasn't trading for him before....they aren't going to do it now just because he's going to get cut. It would be pointless and stupid. [Reply]
It's time for Verch to play that "Super Bowl" card. Hopkins has to be wanting a championship before the end of his career and now would be the time to get it before he goes for the big contract. Besides, everyone wants to see Kermit throwing to D-Hop. [Reply]
