Pretty happy about this one. As a titans fan, I’m really looking forward to this season.

[–] substill@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Titan up! Hopkins gives me a little more hope for the offense.

Chasing money over a championship.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, at least he didn't go to the Chiefs.

[–] TenderfootGungi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a Chiefs fan, I agree. Too old and too much $$.

[–] moeggz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There was a dollar amount I would’ve liked the Chiefs to sign him. But I knew that would be a vet looking for rings not money deal and it didn’t seem like it was what he was looking for.

[–] danhasnolife@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's going to get some flak because he's not ring chasing at the tail end of his career. However, this was likely his best financial offer and WOW does it improve the league's worst WR room. Imagine your outside WR goes from Westbrook-Ikhene to DHop

[–] MasterObee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They gave up AJ brown and had a terrible receiving corp since. He might be their #1

[–] TheAndrewBrown@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

And the AFC just becomes more and more of a bloodbath.

[–] Litany@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sad Chiefs fan noises. Not that I'm surprised at this point, we had no money to pay him, and he made the point clear that money was a big factor.

[–] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you guys will be alright. I also think he wasn't super keen on having to share targets with Kelce, James, Moore, Toney, and VS

[–] Litany@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm definitely not worried as a Chiefs fan. This was very much a potential cherry on top of the cake situation.

[–] substill@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

As a Titans fan:

YES!!!

As a Titans fan who has watched them sign Randy Moss, Robert Woods, Julio Jones, Eric Decker, and basically one veteran WR a year since Yancy Thigpen… my gambler’s fallacy is tingling.

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I would have done that.

I don't get why this decision is getting trashed.

with the WR market, I think this is a great deal for the titans. D-hop came out after suspension last year and was the only bright spot on the cardinals it seemed.
