Curious what you expect for the first six games considering you pinned a lot of our failures down the stretch on missing players and here we are starting out with arguably our best offensive player out for a third of the season.
We'll be fine. We have a generational talent as our QBOTF who makes everyone else around him better, right? :shrug:

I hope Hopkins would come out with the details. I have a lot of issues with anti doping testing. Not sure how the NFL does it, but I know under USADA testing you can be suspended for simply using an IV to rehydrate. They consider it to be masking.
I'm not even sure if players are allowed to discuss what they did.
He withdrew his appeal. That’s all I need to know.

I thought Brown was being dramatically misused in Baltimore. It only took him 147 targets to get those 1,000 yards.
That’s not that many targets over the course of a season. Also consider who’s throwing the ball to him is not exactly known for his downfield throws or accuracy…

How do a bunch of people in the modern era fall for snark on twitter and take it as reported fact?

Is it because you don't understand what a verified reporter is?

Is it that you assume someone quoting it here automatically adds legitimacy?

Is it self confirming lazy bias?

Is it you believe anything you read online?

Anyone who took the beaver tranquilizer as fact I really want to understand this.

It was 10th most in the NFL last season. 10th in targets, in the 20s somewhere in yardage.


Two Ravens in the Top 10 in targets last year.

I think they should trade him right before the deadline if it’s not in contention. Time to move on imo
Hopkins is effectively un-tradeable. If traded before June 1, there would be a $33.9M dead cap hit this year, another $22.6M dead cap next year, and $11.3M in 2024. If traded after June 1, there would be $11.3M dead cap hits this year and each of the next two.

I get that we're not happy with him right now, but most of the cost is irrevocably sunk, so might as well suck it up and get as much from him as possible, at least until the cap savings exceeds the dead cap cost.

Well, we will have a ery good idea if he brings anything different than Kirk after the first 6 games because he will likely be lining up outside that entire time.
