That's a head scratcher. Has to be something to do with cap money. I don't know why else Houston wouldn't want Hopkins or why anyone would want David Johnson.

Rumor has it that Hopkins wants a big extension that Houston wasn’t willing to give up. Even if true, this is a truly pathetic return for a top 3 WR who hasn’t turned 28 yet. Bill O’Brien is a total moron that has been rewarded with more and more control.

I thought I saw they got a 2nd round draft pick and Johnson for Hopkins

I know I'm working from home through this all, but it's weird to see business proceed as usual in the sports world. No reason it shouldn't, outside the lines, it's just that everything is so crazy right now.

And yeah, strange trade for HOU.

The NFL just increased the cap, so a lot of other teams might have had space to make a better trade if picks were the goal.

Hopkins can't be happy with being a cardinal either.

I'd always rather lose FAs than trade them. You get a year when they try their hardest for a new contract, & then you get a compensatory 3rd rounder when they sign elsewhere. Of course you wait a year for it so it's more like a 4th/5th rounder but still.

Basically, this is one of the worst trades I’ve ever seen. Houston got mauled.

Heard yesterday that Hopkins was on the market due to "baby mama drama" around him and the fear of an Antonio Brown type situation.
