Buffalo Bills Week 8 -- Buffalo (5-2) @ Seahawks (4-3) Sunday 10/27, 4:05 pm, Fox

Of course Beane is kicking the tires. I'd be 100% game for trading our 1st this year for him.....and maybe even our spare 2nd. 2 firsts seems a bit much though.....even for Garrett.

I really want it in a vacuum. And honestly the more I think about it, maybe having him can help paper over the weaker safeties without actually addressing that position too.

Good move for them, but not a terrifying move. Dude is 32. He will be solid, but this isn’t 2020 DHop.

Still, they now have a reliable wide out.

Sources: Chiefs finalizing deal for Titans' Hopkins

The Titans and Chiefs are working to finalize a trade that would send wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to Kansas City for a conditional fourth-round pick, league sources told ESPN.

It will be interesting to see if DHop's MCL heals as quickly after the trade as Davante's hamstring healed up after his trade from Vegas to NY.

SalC discussed other possible adds for the Bill's again on wgr this morning:
1) Safety: Edwards remains inactive, Hamlin is playing ok, but they could still add one as a upgrade. My Prediction: Hyde
2) Linebacker: As suggested by Jordan Schultz they may want to bulk up the LB position in case they need a 3rd backer on the field come playoffs (re: Bal), or for depth, and to help with Bernard/Johnson's health. My Prediction: Not sure yet

Hopkins is a competent receiver, but really nothing special at this point.

It's a straight 5th, that can go to a 4th if they make the SB and he plays so much per Schrager

Debating who makes KC better (Kupp or DHop) is a fun thought exercise.

Given what KC likes to do and if both are near 100% from their LBIs, I think Kupp is the more impactful fit. But, DHop does make a sizable improvement to the Chiefs WR room.

They want Hopkins to open up the slot more for Worthy apparently.

So far in 2024:

DE X: 4.0 sacks 17 tackles 7 TFL 9 QB Hits
DE Y: 4.0 sacks 15 tackles 3 TFL 8 QB Hits
DE Z: 3.5 sacks 22 tackles 6 TFL 13 QB Hits

Who do you want?

Spoiler

X is Myles Garrett, Y is AJ Epenesa, and Z is Greg Rousseau

Why not have all three?

Check out how many high end DEs the Giants had in their two Super Bowl wins over the Pats.

Acquisition cost is the big reason.

I do not believe that Garrett would be worth multiple 1st round picks for this team that is in the big money QB part of their build. They need those picks to restock the roster when they cannot afford to keep starters coming off of rookie deals.

Plus, I view Miller coming back after this week as a meaningful add to the DE rotation.

The most I would expect Beane to be comfortable giving up for a deadline add is a 2nd that becomes a 1st if the Bills make the SB.

If they run a lot of routes with DHop and Worthy next to each other, like the Bills ran with Cooper and Kincaid, that could be effective.

Is it? Kupp, when healthy, is still a top 10 receiver in the game. Hopkins is a fringe starter. Unless he just wasn't trying and now he's going to magic himself good again.
