What an absolute dumpster fire
Somers no longer writes for The Republic??xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
But Bidwill apparently didn’t want to cut Hopkins another check, not after the way last season ended.
So the Cardinals are letting him leave and getting nothing in return except a $22.6 million cap hit this season. The Cardinals couldn’t spread that over two years via a post-June 1 release destination, because J.J. Watt and Rodney Hudson already had taken those two slots.
Retired a month and a half ago I think but he resurfaced 2 weeks ago writing for online web I thinkSomers no longer writes for The Republic??
2nd paragraph highlights one of Keim’s failures. No flexibility whatsoever.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

If Hopkins really healthy scratched himself the last 2 games, then I probably wouldn't want to keep paying him, either.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

I say nfl needs to force Bidwill get new owner otherwise will be the same bs boring fa trades that dont work out etc....What an absolute dumpster fire
I was thinking Wilson. Rather watch that kid then a pissed DHopActually this is great, now Rondale Moore won't be held back in the shadow of DHop, woohoo......lol
The old “we don’t know” argument.Apples to oranges imo. We don't know what is said behind closed doors. It's possible that hop asked for this and Baker has been told something that made him happy. Or Baker could be next.. who knows. I certainly don't but anything Said is premature, again imo.
You could say this for almost the entire roster.Maybe cards eyeing wr with all the 2024 draft picks they should have.... lets hope
Maybe cards eyeing wr with all
People are extremely excited about the cap flexibility we’ll have until the moment Hollywood Brown signs a new contract.Don’t get me started on how they are doing Christian Kirk 2.0 this season. Dude is going to be only legit target and put up huge numbers in a contract year and will command a 20 mil contract.
Confused on salary you say $9 million isn't it $19 Million??? That is a big difference.If nothing changes by Tuesday that means the Cardinals may have played chicken with the NFL’s other teams and lost (I know that sounds ornithologically wrong). If they haven’t changed the rules once Hopkins played a game the Cards were on the hook for his $9 mil salary. The option was to hold fast, hoping for a WR injury that would lead to a significant draft choice trade. It’s true it was a gamble. Bidwill would have to man up and risk the $9 mil, if he has it. If the injury happened the prorated salary would have moved to the acquiring team. The Cards would have been even stronger in 2024. Worst case scenario, Murray would have had a fair shot at success with a solid receiving corps.
Bull ish. Even a 7th rounder, with the other team taking on cap burden, would've been better than this ish show. I guess we're Osseneffed all over again.Unable to find a trade partner, Cardinals cut wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins
www.azcardinals.com
After weeks of speculation and the Cardinals unable to find a trade partner, Hopkins was released on Friday.
The Cardinals will absorb a dead salary cap hit of $21 million in 2023, but he will be cleared from the books after that. (They could declare him a June 1 cut, which would allow them to spread the hit evenly over this season and next if they choose.)
At least they were smart with the cap hit.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
Except he pulled a hammy posting on Twitter about the move...Actually this is great, now Rondale Moore won't be held back in the shadow of DHop, woohoo......lol
Caw caw, biotchesTell me more about Monti’s great off-season
cap hit was $19mm -- 2023 salary was $9mm, with the $20mm diff being the spread out of the bonus paid to Hop two years agoConfused on salary you say $9 million isn't it $19 Million??? That is a big difference.
