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!"

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.

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.

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