Teams RARELY do this. They don't think they got fleeced, and no amount of public or media opinion is going to change that.
Could they get a better offer, maybe...but the rumors were that 4 teams were talking to them about the deal, and they didn't think any of those offers were as good.
If a team makes a deal like this and then backs out, they severely damage their relationship among the NFL and it becomes that much harder to negotiate deals in the future.

This Cardinals-Texans trade was agreed to as far back as March 5th! I heard about it over the weekend but could not get confirmation and to be completely honest did not believe it was true based on how absurd the trade was

In other words, Bill O'Brien had 11 days to reconsider this lopsided deal and decided it was still a worthwhile deal for Houston?? Holy crap. No wonder Texans fans hate him so much.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME TRADE!
We can now go anywhere we want in the draft.
Man, Keim may suck at drafting, but dude is nails in trades.

Just was told DeAndre Hopkins does want a new deal. Sticking point: He has no guaranteed money next three years. Will be interesting to see how Cardinals deal with this.

What might Hopkins new deal look like? Well, Michael Thomas signed a five year, $96.25 million extension with the Saints in July of 2019 with $35 million fully guaranteed.

Things have changed.
Add 2 years to his deal for 35 million, and make 35 million guaranteed.
That makes his deal 5 years, 75 million with 35 guaranteed. Still a good deal for the Cards all things considered

He's not gonna do that...look at the chart TheCardFan put up--he is going to ask for $90+ million on a 5 year deal.

One important fact about Hopkins: He's missed just two games in his seven-year career

Or they could not give him a new deal at all and make him sit out for 3 years! He has zero leverage

They would have agreed to it before trading for him IMO
