If it was really all about love then why was he wanting to leave his boy (DW4) with 3 yrs left on his contract? It wasn't about love at all. As with most things in pro sports it was about $$$$.
Some think Nuk was worth the extension. I'm not one of those guys. I'm more of the I'm going to hold onto you until I get what I want for you guy.
However maybe BOB thought DW4 was too reliant on Nuk on the field to grow as a QB. Not to mention all of the other stuff that's already been mentioned.
Who said Hopkins wanted to leave? From what I've read, he wanted more money. He never demanded a trade. Why would he want to renegotiate a contract if he didn't want to stay? There's a difference between wanting a raise and wanting to leave. Too reliant on Hopkins? Wouldn't a coach want to lean on their best offensive player? If you have a player you can depend on "too much", why would you get rid of him with no "plan B"? And fine, say Hopkins demanded a trade. You're telling me BOB couldn't get more than a second round pick and a running back that had fallen out of good standing with his current team? Come on now...
