NFL Offseason: Arizona Cardinals Trade Away DeAndre Hopkins
A Blockbuster Trade Shakes Up The NFL Landscape
Cardinals Receive:
- Running back Eno Benjamin
- 2024 second-round pick
- 2025 fourth-round pick
Texans Receive:
- Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins
- 2024 fourth-round pick
The Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans have agreed to a blockbuster trade that sends star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to Houston in exchange for a package of players and draft picks.
Hopkins, a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, is one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL. He has caught over 100 passes in each of the past three seasons and has totaled over 1,300 receiving yards in each of those years.
The Cardinals are getting a solid return for Hopkins in Benjamin, a promising young running back, and two draft picks. Benjamin rushed for over 500 yards and scored six touchdowns last season.
The Texans are hoping that Hopkins can be the missing piece to their offense. They have a young and talented quarterback in Davis Mills, but they need more weapons around him.
This trade is a major shakeup in the NFL landscape. The Cardinals are now without their top receiver, while the Texans have added a superstar to their offense.
It will be interesting to see how both teams perform in the 2023 season.
