Well, there's a difference...some, like me, ask questions which is just basically reading between the lines and pontificating out loud...there may or may not be the full story and truth. Allen actually used his words, so there shouldn't be a question of "we really can't know"...lol

Oh, if this were a light sider versus a dark sider responding, I might say "Well, he has to say that, but he doesn't necessarily mean it" or some such. Because when anything negative comes up, a lot of posters will twist themselves into logical pretzels to poo poo the negative. But nah, I'm not going to do that. If he says that's why he wants to be there, I'll buy it

Time to go get that 1 yr wonder player

Lol i seriously hope cards use cap wisley no boneheaded cards moves aj green part 2 etc..

Of course, one can dream up a few other options, as you have. All one has to do is ignore DHop insisting he won't take a pay cut and that the Cards refused, quite rightly, to subsidize his departure further. You and others can scream and stomp your feet, but the fact remains that no team was prepared to take on $19.5m in 2023 and the $14m+ in 2024, let alone offer draft compensation. Math is hard, I get it, and it's much easier to sound off ad nauseam ignoring the basic facts of the matter.

LOL I can't even offer up a nice try on that one. Sad attempt to gaslight, but I'm not surprised.

Ah, and now you're eliminating options based on your OPINION of what the Cards should do with the second bolded section. But yeah, I'm dreaming about there being more options. That deserves another hearty LOL If the choice were to pay out some cashy money and get some draft compensation or not, IMO is it's a no brainer. Take more draft compensation.

And when we get to the third bolded remark, we see the trolling insults at full force. Oof at the awful comma splice. As you might reply: "English is hard; I get it." Or: "English is hard. I get it." Also, being a courteous poster is hard; I get it. You should try sometime. This post literally brought nothing new to the table and merely continued your ignorant discourse. But you will keep doing you no matter what.

Guess I should have been clearer. When Hopkins signs on with a new team, we will know what the team is willing to pay for his services. In a trade they would have had to assume his salary at the current level he was at under the Cardinal contract. The difference will give us an idea of how big a barrier his Cardinal contract was to trading him. Many here are not happy we got nothing for him. Once he signs, the numbers will indicate just how much his contract numbers with the Cardinals prevented any type of trade. I suspect Hopkins is going to find out that what he may see as his value is not going to agree with what he gets in offers from interested teams. I suspect they will be substantially lower than what Hopkins thinks his worth is.

Ugh. No way we're actually using that much next season. We wasted opportunities to spend some of it moving forward this offseason. So we're either going to get an unwise spending spree next FA period or, much more likely, a bunch of excuses why we need to roll that cap money over again into 2025. And many here will bite on the company line.

Blather on. It's your thing.

We are still waiting for your additional options that make sense, given that adding $6 to $9m to the $22m 'dead' money hit in return for a mid-round pick instead of rolling this Cap space into 2024 is certifiably bonkers.

Cashy?

Humm... as someone once said: "English is hard; I get it." Or: "English is hard. I get it."

You're not waiting for jack. I provided other options; you decided they personally don't work for you. That doesn't mean they aren't options.

Cashy money is a reference to the show Firefly. References work as modern colloquialisms. But go on with your pathetic attempts to troll me. Go on pretending the options are only limited to what you think are "smart" options. I know I'll never get through your veneer of self-righteousness. I'll continue just responding to your bad attempts to tear down my posts.

If you had actually offered one option that wasn't devoid of common sense, divorced from reality, I would have nothing to say.

Brother, if you were the judge, jury, and executioner of common sense on this board, there wouldn't be any, ya know, common sense. Keep on keeping on with that belief, though

Both of you get a break. Go get a hotel room and make up.

Losing D-Hop for nothing was pathetic even with an upside of saving salary later. PATHETIC.

Kind of. Facts are that teams have less cap space now, than when the Cardinals were "shopping him" at the on-set of free agency and pre-draft. Because of this the contracts available to him are more limited.

It'll certainly clarify D-Hop's priorities.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Actually his first sentence in The cons section is 100% just an opinion not a fact in anyway shape or form.

And sentence #2 I’m gathering we do have a C on the team. Just because you may not like who it’s gonna be doesn’t make it a fact

People have questioned the picks. That makes my first comment an absolute fact. You may disagree with their questioning, but it exists nonetheless.

If you count a guy who has played a grand total of three games at center in the nfl as a “center” I guess you’re right. Go crow that argument to the mountains. We do not have a center on this roster. We have guys we hope can play center on this roster.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Well, his official release should have been 70 minutes ago (4pm EST)...why hasn't he signed with anyone yet?

Wait... so you're saying Monti's brilliant move to announce the release three days before it could be effectuated didn't result in a team trading for him like we did for Rodney Hudson?

Crazy.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ok but just realize your spending money this year that you can use next year. That 9 mil can sign a couple of nice players next year, or you have a 3rd round pick.

Or if your owner isn’t cheap you can do both.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Rich. All your opinions. Not facts.

I 100% believe now that the tank is on.

I didn’t know the tampering was my opinion. Sorry everyone for costing us draft position. I’ll try to keep my opinions from costing us tampering sanctions in the future.

Sure he ends up on cowgirls bills or cheifs

Man still soooo.bummed on nuk situation he brought it every gm....
