    I honestly cannot believe this. One of, if not the best receivers in the league for a "once-was" good RB?

    This trade has the same smell as the Keith Hernandez-Neil Allen trade back in the 80's. We later found out that Hernandez was a druggie behind the scenes. There has to be something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. Even then though, we didn't even know that Hopkins was available, and I would think O'Brien could have gotten better offers if he had let it be known that he wanted to trade him. Also, I'm sure ownership had to put the platinum stamp of approval on this for it to even happen. In the same breath, maybe I'm thinking too much into this, and O'Brien is just an idiot.

    This is a bargain for one of the top three wr in the game. Especially locked up for three years. OBrien gives idiots a bad name.

    Buffalo trades for Stefan Diggs.

    They give up 4 draft picks including
    a first rounder this year.

    Vikings SB odds just got more pricey w Hou dumping this WR + Vikes renewing Kirk. Probably 10:1 now

    free agent signings and a 2nd round rookie CB that has to learn how to play effective CB D vs NFL QB's and JOSH GORDON?? would def put Houston in over KC

    OK, we'll see. You people never learn. Just bet the opposite of whatever seems obvious and you will fare much better, I promise.

    Hopkins and Watson did not get along with Bill. Just like Clowney and Brown. All 3 dealt for minimal return. Hopkins also wanted deal redone and Hou wasn’t of the same mindset.

    Texans thought giving buttchin the same responsibilities as Bill Belichick was a smart move. Texans and their coach are morons.

    Texans new WR Randall Cobb on conference call today on being with the Texans : "You look at what they've done over the past couple of years, I still don't have a ring. I want to be in a situation where I have that possibility."
