    stop blowing smoke and do research. Diggs wasn't happy with the Viking Franchise, but they weren't gonna trade him for scraps so they waited until someone did. BoB needs to keep his ego in check.

    I've stopped bothering to respond to him because he seems like just your typical BOB defender and place the blame on everyone else but BOB.

    When I mentioned that John Granato said BOB got Chris Olsen fired, he said John Granato is a liar. Then he accused Olsen of never giving extensions 2 years out, which was simply a false statement because Watts got an extension 2 years out. And now hes trying to say the Texans got fair value because Hopkins is disgruntled, which doesnt even make sense because under the new CBA, players cant hold out at all so they have no leverage in getting a new deal.

    But theres really no talking to BOB lovers they will defend him even if he trades away Watson for Andy Dalton by claiming Watson improvises too much and Dalton will run the offense the way BOB wants it

    If he asked for more money, give it to him. He’s the second best WR in the NFL.....

    If he would've got what the Vikings got for Diggs. You could almost defend it. But David Johnson? a 2nd? Obrien gave Hopkins away

    So what? Players ask for things they don't get all the time. It was the opening offer from a player with 3 years left on his contract and literally no leverage.

    That's cheap, 20 mil for being the best. No way the 5th ranked center (in the division) should have gotten that amount of cash when he did. Same with Merciless, love merciless but 4 million less was where his value would have been. Now Hopkins is looking at that center who can't stay healthy to play a game get that contract and he's thinking ....Wtf. .

    Well O’Brien’s burner account clearly wants to get a deal done. He’s made this same comment on several other tweets about Tunsil as well lol. Scrolling through that twitter profile makes me seriously think it’s OB’s burner.

    This is going to end in BOB trading Tunsil + 40th pick + 2021 7th for Trent Williams and a 5th.
