The staff was in the end in a position to signal Beckham to a one-year contract and win his sweepstakes, which made Jackson “hype”. It is theoretically nonetheless potential that the Ravens land Hopkins, too.
He is not a free agent, however he is nonetheless obtainable through commerce and if the Arizona Cardinals do not discover a associate, there’s an actual probability he will get launched. If that occurs, there could also be a bidding struggle and the Ravens might not be capable to land him, however the transfer actually is not off the desk at this stage.
It is value noting that Rodgers refuted the report of his wishlist, however Jackson has come out and clarified what he meant when he reached out on sure gamers.
Will DeAndre Hopkins be part of Odell Beckham Jr. and Lamar Jackson?
Proper now, the one factor standing in the way in which of a DeAndre Hopkins commerce (whether or not to the Baltimore Ravens or not) is his contract. It’s totally excessive, which is the only real motive the Cardinals are wanting into shifting him.
Will DeAndre Hopkins be part of Odell Beckham Jr. and Lamar Jackson?
That limits the Ravens, who’ve the highest-paid NFL participant in historical past (Lamar Jackson) and the highest-paid defender in NFL historical past (Roquan Smith). Any deal would require the cash to match and the Cardinals might nicely must eat some it.
If not and so they launch him, then it turns into simpler financially for the Ravens to signal Hopkins. They will not be the one staff , although. Competitors will not be good, so there’s nonetheless an opportunity he joins Beckham and Jackson, nevertheless it’s admittedly a slim one.
