DJ traded to the Texans for DeAndre Freaking Hopkins

Aaron Wilson @AaronWilson_NFL

On former Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins' contractual outlook, desire for new deal, multiple league sources said Cardinals All-Pro wide receiver wants to make $3M to $4M more in annual compensation over current $16.2M APY. He's due base salaries of $12.5M, $13.5M, $13.915M.

No extensions will happen before physicals I would imagine.

Buckner, and several other players who were traded, received new contracts almost immediately. So, I'm guessing they're getting pretty close on a restructure/extension.

OMG, the responses from the Texans Board are utter comedy:


"JUST KILL ME NOW VIRUS. JUST. KILL. ME. NOW"

"DJ looked like he was running with a piano on his back last year."

"How does Baltimore get about the same amount of trade value for Hayden Hurst as we do for DeAndre Hopkins...."

"Texans: We hear you are trading David Johnson, we're interested.
Cardinals: Yeah, we're willing to give him up but you have to take on all of his contract.
Texans: Fine, fine, we'll throw in a late round pick then.
Cardinals: Oh? Wait, what?
Texans: FINE! Take Hopkins then if that's what you want!
Cardinals: ...What??? You know what? Have our 2nd round pick. Thanks, bye!"

They can make the extension conditional on the physical.

I know. But I don’t think they would finalize anything on contingency.

I am so stoked about this trade
keim fleeced the texans

now add an olineman and the offense is good to go.

Don't gloat - we may want to pick their pockets again in the future.

Hopkins already responded
Classy
Now coming all the haters bashing O'Brian

Yup. Never burn bridges. It's good to keep a positive relationship with trade partners. The Texans helped the Cardinals out big time.

I think it will burn a bridge with Irvin. Sounds like he didnt want it to come out.

Now? He’s been getting killed for 48 hrs and rightfully so.

Maybe. I'm not sure.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Hmm. Wide receiver.

Hopkins
Fitzgerald
Kirk
Isabella
KJohnson

But we also have Hakeem Butler coming off of injury and I kinda liked that kid.

There was pressure on Butler/Izzy to be a #3. Now they’re basically scratcher tickets that we would take as solid depth guys. Cooper still in the mix who is legit.

 

[SoonerLou]

If we're keeping 6 or 7 wrs...gotta have one or two contribute on special teams.

Makes the Isabella pick weird since they dont trust him on Kick returns.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I am still beyond stunned at this trade.

Best quote I have seen. "Not even the Astros saw this coming!"

This is like trading Rubio’s contract and pick for Dame Lillard.
