I mean, sure, ideally you'd hoard all the WRs. But as soon as you sign Hopkins, DPJ is going to demand a trade. It only makes sense from his perspective. His value may or may not lessen with a trade demand, but I'd just be proactive about seeking out a deal.
You'd have Hopkins and Cooper making good money on the back halves of their careers, Moore on a rookie deal who ideally will get expensive soon after balling out here, and Ced Tillman in development with a similar skillset to DPJ. I don't see DPJ being good enough to command big money from the Browns with salary tied up and earmarked elsewhere, so you'll have him here for this season (likely against his will) and he'll walk for a comp pick.
AB was able to talk Njoku into backing off his request, but I think it's a different situation for DPJ if Hopkins signs here.
Idk, like you said yourself, good problem to have. Won't really mind how they go about it either way.
How do we know he would demand a trade? There has been a ton of talk about 4/5 wide sets recently and the Browns offense becoming a more pass heavy offense with Watson at the helm and as it should.
Peoples Jones would still see the field a ton.
