In the first day of NFL free agency the Houston Texans dropped a nuclear bomb on the sports world when they announced they were trading away Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals.
Cardinals get: WR DeAndre Hopkins and a 4th-round pick.
Texans get: RB David Johnson, a second-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick.

The #AZCardinals are receiving WR DeAndre Hopkins in the deal for David Johnson, source said. Bill O’Brien and his crew at it again.

Of course, the Internet was shocked to learn the Texans traded away one of the best wide receivers in football and crushed Bill O’Brien for it.
What in the f—k are the Texans doing?

Wtf are the Texans doing trading Hopkins for David Johnson? Why trade one of the best receivers in their prime for a running back that hasn’t produced in years? They have to be working a trade for a top WR.
