N/S Texans trading DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals. (1 Viewer)

How is this even allowed lol.

DeAndre Hopkins, traded to the Cardinals for running back David Johnson, was unhappy with his contract, according to sources. Texans weren't going to alter existing deal with $40 million remaining and three years.

They didn’t even get a 1st for him. 1 2nd and two 4th’s.

absolutely awful

Cardinals get: WR DeAndre Hopkins and a 4th-round pick.

Texans get: RB David Johnson, a second-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick.

This is possibly the worst trade of all time. Hopkins is literally unguardable. Saints couldn’t stop him with both safeties and Lattimore.

on a side note... how many would have traded Kamara and a 2nd for Hopkins?

Easily. Thou I'm not sure if we have cap for the contract.

Well, Saints have to pay Kamara soon. So, I’m guessing they could work something out.

Hopkins wants to be highest paid WR in the league. Don’t think the Saints need two WRs with 100 million dollar contracts.

What was Hopkins gonna do? Sit Out?

What an idiot. OBrien showing his genius once again

Johnson is an extremely good back and Houston will reload at WR in a loaded draft. We'll see who does best out of this one, although you have to favour the Cards at this point.

Exactly! He still has three years and only 40 mil. That’s a steal for him.

Okay...

I know you're still recovering from not being able to post AJ Green to the Saints threads any more...

They are going to give him a new contract.

Cardinals, DeAndre Hopkins will be working on a new contract

The stunning decision of the Texans to trade one of the best receivers in the NFL for a running back who has a ball-and-chain contract and whose best work is fading into the rear-view mirror suggests that there's more to the story.

Is O'Brien dumb or is he smart by offloading a WR who is already unhappy 2.5 years into a 5-year deal?
