DJ traded to the Texans for DeAndre Freaking Hopkins

[BirdGangThing]

So I'm guessing the DeAndre Hopkins' contract is as crazy as David Johnson's and we just added that to our cap, plus it sounds like we're giving up multiple draft picks.

Houston ....... Self Isolating itself from the new playoff format. I love this.

 

[GuernseyCard]

DJ and a 2 to Texas
Hopkins and a 4 to AZ

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Holy cow!!

Got rid of DJ and Got a top WR!!

We swapped receivers. Great trade !!

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

This must be the big trade "Buckybird" was talking about.

 

[outcent13]

david Johnson + our 2nd rounder to TX for Hopkins and their 4th

This is not bad IMO. Keim comes out swinging man.

 

[Solar7]

Well, I sure as **** can’t complain.

Keim will be charged with robbery.

 

[AZman5103]

WOW....DJ + 2nd + 4th next year for Hopkins + 4th this year.

Houston paying all of DJ's salary!!!

That is a very good deal for us.

ALL PRAISE TO BILL O BRIAN FOR HE IS ALLAH

 

[HGC]

Are you kidding me? They dealt DJ and got Murray one of the top weapons in the league?

Mods: please merge

Quick. Get this to the league office before the Texans wake up.

Already feel we won Free agency.

This is crazy. I have given Keim plenty of crap (for good reason), and I can't wait to see extension numbers for Hopkins, but Nuk is an incredible get. And getting rid of DJ is pretty incredible, too. Man, what a start to the offseason!

Way to go, SK!

If this is right, Keim absolutely fleeced Houston. Hopkins is under $14M for the next three years with $0 guaranteed coming over to us. We could free up additional cap space at any time by extending him for 2 years (his current contract ends in 2022 when he's 30).

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.

Giving up a 2nd hurts, but Hopkins is well worth it. Great trade.

HOLY ****

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Now we can possibly trade down a few spots from #8 & maybe get that 2nd round pick back? Unless Simmons or Brown are there at #8. More than likely this means we go OT though, unless the one we covet isn't there? Oh the hell with it, I give up, don't have a clue, too many possibilities lol.
