Deandre Hopkins traded to AZ

[AbeBeta]

Hopkins is fast superior to Cooper.

Older though

 

[Tussinman]

Hopkins will get a new deal and we'll give Amari the same money.

Amari wanted the market to set before signing. Now it will.

Hopkins is under contract for 3 more years, why would he get a new deal ?

 

[garyv]

that's my take too. Both teams are just maneuvering the cap for other moves. Neither team is done.

space to sign Amari Cooper

 

[Proof]

that's fair...but lets see how they replace him first. If they properly replace him, it makes the Johnson trade much better.

no it doesn’t lol. Terrible trade dude, it’s ok.

Texans fans are having a meltdown right now!!

Cooper to Texans

 

[Tussinman]

Cooper to Texans

Why would the Texans get rid of Hopkins who was only costing 12.5 million in 2020 then go pay cooper 17-20 million a year ?

I don't think people realize how cheap Hopkins was playing for (not only that he's under his current contract for 3 more seasons)

 

[Verdict]

There have to be facts about this we don’t know.

Hence why I would have loved if the Boys had traded for him and let Cooper walk.

Texans have to be the dumbest franchise in the NFL

quite impressive

Will Fuller is probably the best of the bunch, but he's been extremely injury prone. The rest are JAG's.

That still doesn’t really address my question. If you don’t clear that much room with a Johnson-Hopkins swap... then why do it as a salary dump? You’re just swapping Uber-talent for good talent and not clearing that much space.

Then if they sign Amari, all you did was get a lesser WR ( who is still expensive) for a better one, and you added a good RB.

Why not keep your expensive WR and then get a RB in FA or the draft. It makes no sense.

We're hearing rumors down here of personality conflicts between BoB and Hopkins.

no patience eh...

 

[coogrfan]

no patience eh...

I've seen every game BoB has coached. Dude gets zero benefit of the doubt from me.

fair enough. I haven't watched him as much as you have. I defer to you on that.

That’s the only thing that makes any sense... but even then, they should have gotten a better package for Hopkins, IMO.

another poster mentioned a good point. Could it be more about the wr draft class than it was anything else?

 

[Rayman70]

space to sign Amari Cooper

that's a real possibility

David Johnson hasn’t average more than 3.7 yards a carry the past two seasons and his only 1000 yard season was back in 2016. The Texans got him and a second round pick for Hopkins? Plus the Texans also gave the Cardinals a fourth round pick along with Hopkins. They got screwed to unload his salary.

 

[aikemirv]

David Johnson is washed up - that was a fire sale!

yup. My guess is they will turn that pick into a wr.

 

[Proof]

no patience eh...

there’s nothing to be patient about. They may make corresponding moves to offset, but none will make this deal look any better. One of the worst deals I’ve ever seen
