Good grief, can we get off this narrative??? He's a malcontent with a huge salary that some desperate team will overpay for, just not us. He'd probably want a new contract for even more cash. Veach can find a better fit than him if we want to build for not only 2023, but 2024-6 and beyond. As long as PMII is QB1 we'll be OK.

Curious, where this narrative comes from?

And his salary isn't even that "huge."

Malcontent, WRONG. He said himself he did NOT think he would be traded from Houston. He did not ask to be traded and was fine playing there despite their record. He was fine playing in Arizona with an even worse record but now that they are rebuilding he doesnt want to waste the last few years of his career. It makes sense for him and Arizona to part ways.

Huge Salary, WRONG. He has two years left on his contract at 19 and 14 so 33. So 2 year average of 16.5, very reasonable for a top WR. He has said he's willing to work on that even for the right team. He wants to win!

Veach is building for EVERY year. He was after JuJu for two years, got him and a Lombardi then let him go. Now he will find another, probably several.

No one knows if we will get Hopkins but to just dismiss the possibility is not smart. Veach is SMART.
