I have no idea what was offered but I would have much rather had Hopkins than AJ Green, and I would have though our 2nd round pick and Gio was a better offer than what the Cards gave....not saying that the Bengals did offer this, but....

[Mike M (the other one)]

Yes, Gio would have been my offer, but I figure the Texans wanted Mixon and that's a no deal. Our 2nd is like a first so that's also a no deal unless they are giving us their 2nd as well.

But impressed that our name came up as a possibility.
