Yeah the talk is Giants will potentially pay some of it to not lose him for nothing

I really don't see how they just don't extend him 3-4 years. He is too good and still young.

I don't think he's going to be willing to pay the extension $ they seek. Talking $20M minimum for any of them, and likely $25M.
Trading for Hopkins is different from trading for these three.
If there's a receiver trade, I expect it to be for a veteran at a cheaper rate. Maybe not super cheap, but cheaper.
As far as individual players, only one that makes any sense is DK. Pretty clear the 49ers don't want to trade Deebo, based on the offers the Jets gave them that they declined (highly doubt we'll pay more than that in terms of draft comp), and I've seen nothing to suggest McLaurin is even on the trade block. Think that's an easy extension for the Commanders all day long.
DK is possible, but again, don't really see why Seattle wants to deal. They're a QB away from no longer being a "rebuild" team, and they'll almost certainly get a good one next year. You can do a lot worse as a rookie QB than getting DK and Lockett to throw to.
In terms of cap space, not having Hollywood next year is something, but it's not super significant. Assuming there's no Lamar extension, he's going to cost at least $10M more next year than this year, which is most of what Hollywood was going to cost on a 5th year option. By the time you franchise Lamar and extend Peters, you'll be under $20M in cap space most likely.
That's not a small amount, but it ain't a big amount either.
Also fun fact as I look ahead... the 2023 FA class for the Ravens is largely insignificant. It's Lamar and Peters, of which I would expect both to be back. The rest is almost entirely depth players that probably could be retained for cheap. So will likely get a 2nd straight year of heavy FA activity, due to the lack of comp picks available (frankly, I don't see any).

Dude the draft was like 4 days ago. Even with any FA signing, it's going to be a very dead period in the calendar for the next close to three months.

You're so funny for taking that seriously. It was a joke to show some excitement given we have literally nothing to talk about for months now
Didnt think of this.. sound like a good idea though.. cant be any worse than duv and proche

Personally I'm of the mindset that we have 2 options. Just stick with what we got and only keep a UDFA or very cheap vet who's only job is to be emergency insurance. OR make a big time trade for a Terry, DK, Deebo depending on how we each of those guys.
Basically either don't waste any cap on scrubs so we can use it elsewhere like at CB or actually commit capital you're gonna feel good about years from now.
Naw we cant keep what we got… gonna be 2019 and 2020 all over again once playoffs hit. Id take scary terry in a heartbeat though
