Youre a moron.

The Texans can pick up a WR in this draft.

Bestow your pearls of wisdom upon us.

Thus far, you have astutely pointed out that David Johnson is a running back. Great stuff .

Lol what year is this? People are embarrassing themselves claiming that Hopkins for Johnson isn't a complete fleecing. Johnson is a RB who had 1.5 good NFL seasons and has done nothing since getting overpaid.

Hopkins disappeared last season.

Jax 5 rec 40 yds 0 tds
Car 5 rec 41 yds 0 tds
Jax 8 rec 48 yds 1 tds
KC 9 rec 55 yds 0 tds
TB 5 rec 23 yds 0 tds
NE 5 rec 64 yds 0 tds

Good player? Sure, but it would be idiotic to overpay when rookie WRs are blowing up in the NFL at a fraction of the cost.

Ha ha! You have a 27 year old with three straight first team all-pros on a team friendly contract for the next three years. Better dump him in a fire sale for a second round pick!!!

This is like the Red Sox and fans trying to make themselves feel good about getting a few bags of horse manure for Mookie Betts!

I wonder if Caserio would’ve signed off on this trade had the Texans hired him.

Amazing that Sanu and Hopkins were both traded for a second round pick.

Good player? He’s a true #1 wr, who was traded for a 2nd rounder and a rb who was replaced midseason because he stunk.

Hopkins' contract was "cut friendly" ($3 Million dead money with $11 Million in cap savings), so the Texans may have been thinking about dumping him one way or another after all his complaints about his pay. This looks suspiciously like a straight-up salary dump. The Texans gained nearly $10 Million in cap space, a serviceable RB who might pull a Derrick Henry and a 2nd round pick instead of nothing if they just cut him.

The Cardinals get a great WR who seems to disappear in the playoffs and is grumbling about his contract. For them, the money is a wash.

You have to be trolling.

This may be the worst trade in sports history. Certainly NFL history

Trading a top 5, maybe the best receiver in football for a bag of balls

Would you rather have Hopkins right now or Sanu? It's too bad BB got fleeced by Atlanta or he could have fleeced the Texans instead.

Triumph said:

Johnson is a duel threat.

Rookie WRs play on the cheap and Hopkins wanted to cash in. I had him on my fantasy last year and Hopkins disappeared at times.

Yeah I couldn’t agree more....always knew who sanu was....possession guy not big time elite WR....felt 2nd still was good at time because being a bigger body thought he might be big help in RZ.....so far he has been a bust....but he was injured.....see what he can do if healthy this year with realistic expectations

Too funny.

Hopkins, who wants a new contract, was traded Monday to the Arizona Cardinals,

First off, Hopkins is not the best WR in the NFL. Mike Thomas is.

Secondly, Houston can pick up a rookie WR in a deep draft. Look up AJ Brown, DK Metcalf and Terry McLaurin and get acquainted with what they did last season as rookies. Furthermore, David Johnson will pick up some of the receiving work.

Closing, Hopkins wanted a new big contract.

Probably could've had him in exchange for Michel and next year's 2nd.

Texans player reactions...lol. Kenny Stills hilarious.
