Spot on take! Hop and only Hop made it impossible to trade him. Whether it was March or now no team was going to pay a 31 year old WR with Hops production the last two seasons 19 plus million let alone give up draft capitol too. At no point was Hop willing to restructure. Point, blank, period.
I’ll be curious to see how the Bills or Chiefs fit what he’s gonna want paid under their cap. They both have next to nothing in cap space. Both teams agreed to trade for him but Hop refused to restructure. Above all he wants paid. Period.
There is no full funding from the Cards. The rest of his contract has no guaranteed $. He already got that. It’s a major cap hit for 2023. Period. The Cards will not pay him another dime.
And perhaps he didn’t. As with a lot of stuff that supposedly goes on we truly don’t know. But even if he did, running the bus over his teammate to the media is weak af In my old ass opinion.
I’ve never heard him say he wants out. Just read it and I don’t believe most media regurgitation. Has anyone actually heard him say it? If so link me up so I can too.
