It has been a few weeks and some time has passed since the Houston Texans and Bill O’Brien decided to trade All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and to this day the general manager O’Brien still believes he made the correct decision.
Was it really the best decision, though?
O’Brien — who is not only the general manager, but also the head coach — traded Hopkins and a fourth-round draft pick (2020) for running back David Johnson, a second-round pick (40th overall in 2020) and a 2021 fourth-round pick.
When the trade occurred with the Arizona Cardinals, fans of the Texans were enraged — and for good reason — and to this day, fans still aren’t pleased with the outcome of that trade.
