Keke Coutee + Zach Fulton + 3.90
for
David Johnson + pick 3.72
Why Arizona does it:
Primarily this is the best way to dump David Johnson's contract. This move allows them to get out from under Johnson's contract so that they can re-sign Drake. It cost us a 2nd round pick to rid ourselves of Brock Osweiler. Here Arizona makes a similar move but it only costs them a 3rd and they acquire two players who should contribute to their team. Fulton is an upgrade at G or C for them and Coutee has a history of success with Kliff Kingsbury at TTU.
Why Houston does it:
David Johnson is an improvement at RB. While his salary is likely cost prohibitive long term he would be a cut candidate in '21 (or he could restructure his deal too). Either way, in getting rid of Fulton's salary the Texans essentially get Johnson for what it would cost to re-sign Hyde. Added bonus would be moving up a little in round 3 for our troubles.
