Hopkins traded to Cardinals?

[austins23]

Gonna be interesting to hear how the Texans spin this trade.

I've seen this tweet and a couple of others that said the same thing. Friction between OB and Hopkins. Hopkins was probably upset about the craptastic offenses OB tried to roll out. And OB hasn't accomplished crap in the NFL to be causing friction with a top player in the league.

Go pound sand OB!

 

[Texansballer74]

So he couldn’t get a first round pick for a top three receiver in the game

 

[dream_team]

It's too early to say this. He still has draft picks and Watson left to trade.

It may get worse.

I wanted to reply with the "HaHa" emoji... but unfortunately, it's not a joke.

 

[KA4Texan]

I'm convinced, the Texans are the "Indians" from Major League.

Our owner wants to move the team but has to nose dive attendance.

 

[austins23]

I may keep my Sunday Ticket this year now just to watch DHop in Arizona. I bet Kingsbury got himself a chubby when that trade went through.

I know, I was being serious.

 

[cameronkrazie86]

Of course "friction" is the reason. Perhaps Bill's communication skills suck? I'll try to speak to this in Bill's language "Bill you effin suck at being a GM. You effin suck as a play caller and you suck as a leader."

I have never given up on a team before but Bill and Cal leave me no choice. Eff this franchise and wasting so many years on this toilet franchise.

 

[Wolf]

Yep. Gave up basically nothing

 

[cameronkrazie86]

Wonder if the "friction" was caused by Bill's fetish for dive plays up the center's ass?

 

[Big Lou]

Johnson is 28 years old and only went over 1,000 yards once. This is borderline criminal conspiracy.

 

[HuttoKarl]

Saw this just now. Shocking!View attachment 5727

**** BOB right in his dirty **** hole.

 

[The1ApplePie]

I wonder if this is like Clowney, in that Nuk didn't practice hard enough for O'Brien.

 

[cameronkrazie86]

To those that are gonna continue to support this dumpster fire of a franchise, I wish you (and not Bill or Cal) well.

To those that are moving on to new teams like myself - my your new team never hire Bill O'Brien.

 

[Texecutioner]

We should have seen this coming

WE did!!

Now I'm waiting on all of those "Tunsil trade" supporters to come back and tell me about how that trade wasn't going to make Bob extremely desperate going into the next off season once he had no draft capital?

Now y'all lost Hop.

 

[chicagotexan2]

I thought the Clowney deal was dumb, BOB once again proves me wrong and shows me what dumb really is.

Don’t under estimate the stupidity of Fat Travolta

 

[santo]

I wonder if this is like Clowney, in that Nuk didn't practice hard enough for O'Brien.

He was probably complaining too much that he was constantly being covered. OB got upset and decided to get a RB to continue his "run up the middle" offense.

I don't give a crap about the NFL in general, only the Texans, so I can't really get behind another team. Looks like my fall and winter Sundays will be free for a while.

Maybe I will follow the Roughnecks should the XFL survive, but swapping my allegiance to another NFL team? Yeah, no....not happening. The NFL will stop existing for me when I decide to tune out the Texans.

 

[PapaL]

In BOb’s infinite wisdom he designed an offense around the most brittle WR and trades away one of the leagues best WRs for an oft-injured RB.

This is one strange timeline. All the grumbling from players that recently left this franchise are obviously true. Texans are a disaster on the field and in the board room.

 

[santo]

The only explanation I have is that the Astros paid OB to trade Hopkins to get Houston fans off of the cheating scandal.

 

[FirstTexansFan]

Someone go open up the Crypt, this guy wasn't CAL dumb

 

[mussop]

Guys... let's not call each others names. It only escalates.

There’s only one here doing that. Mr I’m smarter than you.

 

[CPTTexan]

This just made negotiations for DW's next contract infinitely more interesting..

I'd refuse to sign a new contract if I were him. Knowing full well, they'll just tag him for the amount of time they can use that option, and then leave for a team who actually looks like they care to win more than a Division Champion banner.

 

[DVauthrin]

I really wish Cal McNair would have had the balls to fire O’Brien after the Kansas City massacre in the playoffs. This is the worst Houston sports trade in my lifetime (since 1983).

A year ago, Hopkins & Clowney were two of the Texans four best players. They are both now gone (along with a ’19 4th round pick) for:

Barkevious Mingo
Jacob Martin
David Johnson
Gareon Conley (via SEA ’19 3rd round pick)
’19 2nd round pick
'20 4th round pick

AWFUL. Just AWFUL.

Actually there is an explanation. The explanation is that OB is a dumbass moron unworthy of coaching in junior high.

This franchise has now hit rock bottom for me. That was one dumbass stupid trade. If they'd have gotten a 1st round pick in there somewhere, it might have made this a little easier to stomach.

 

[Speedy]

Johnson is 28 years old and only went over 1,000 yards once. This is borderline criminal conspiracy.

And what’s his pay? Heard it was $14M. Not where I can check.

No way in hell would I stay and end up taking the blame because my coach is the dumbest idiot in sports.

[Mr teX]

I applaud you for trying your best to make sense of this... but some things just aren't worth defending. Save yourself some typing.

Lol not trying to “ defend”...I absolutely hate this move more than any other move this franchise has ever made....

Unlike a lot of people on here though I’m just not knee jerk like that. Gotta see what is done in the draft and the rest of FA..then gotta see what this team looks like next year...

 

[DocBar]

Isn't that a 2020 2nd round pick and a 2021 4th round pick?

 

[The1ApplePie]

 

[austins23]

Jim Trotter of ESPN and SI just posted a Tweet saying "the Clowney trade was mismanaged, and the Hopkins trade is brutal. Bill O'Brien clearly needs help." LOL OB is dumb ass

Cardinals just traded Hopkins for a One and 2 Twos...

So you got to miss the Ed Biles era and are too young to really remember what an ass hat Jerry Glanville was.

Texans trade DeAndre Hopkins to Cardinals: Here’s the misguided GM who is making Giants’ Dave Gettleman look good

Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien officially took on the team's general manager title this offseason and promptly traded wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals.

[DocBar]

Cardinals just traded Hopkins for a One and 2 Twos...

I wouldn't be at all surprised. I'd laugh my ass off if any of those picks were former Texans picks.

 

[paycheck71]

Can we go back to sports being cancelled? I had more fun watching marble races on facebook than opening my computer to this......

 

[theCATALYST]

Let the clowning begin. Poor Watson.

DeAndre Hopkins trade reaction is swift, hilarious and sad (including a Deshaun Watson side-eye)

The reactions to the DeAndre Hopkins trade were hilarious. And sad.

[UnlimitedTexan]

Surprise, surprise the raging asshole doesn't get along with a star player and gets rid of them for nothing. "Best interest of the team" actually means "best interest for my ego" for the moron

 

[Uncle Rico]

sad and pathetic all the "wait and see" champions. this wet fish has been flapping around your face for years and you sad saps were too blind to see it .. making excuses all the way. SAD AND PATHETIC!!

The Texans gave up a top three wide receiver and their best offensive player for an injury-prone running back that the Cardinals considered releasing because he makes $10 million this season and a second-round pick. Whether you agree with trading Hopkins or not (I don’t), they got fleeced value wise. I’m sure there were teams willing to give at least one and maybe two first round picks for Hopkins.

Bill O’Brien has succeeded in weakening the Texans’ draft assets for this season and next along with the overall product on the field. It’s an amazing feat that many people couldn’t pull off.

[watt99x99]

Im eagerly waiting for the Pro OBrien Posse to come in here with all their excuses. This is unfathomable how the man has gutted a winning team in order to satisfy his need for control.

This idiot thought he would be cute and save 1 MILLION bucks by shipping off a fan favorite (Rick Smith Drafted) ALL PRO player for what?? Another reclamation project???

This is a travesty that spills over not only in the fan zone, but there is not one single business reason to have made this move. NONE.

look for DW4's reaction. he's pro obrien

 

[Thorn]

This all makes perfect sense if OB is trying to destroy the Texans.

 

[DVauthrin]

So you got to miss the Ed Biles era and are too young to really remember what an ass hat Jerry Glanville was.

True on both accounts. I do remember Buddy Ryan punching Kevin Gilbride on the sideline, the Oilers’ collapse in Buffalo and Bud Adams moving the team to Nashville.
