From a purely football standpoint, the DeAndre Hopkins trade that was made two days ago is a complete and utter disaster, a trade unlike anyone has ever seen before. The Texans traded a durable top three wide receiver, in the prime of his career, with zero bonus money remaining on his contract, for a running back; not only that, but an expensive running back who hasn’t been great since 2016 and was the third best RB in Arizona last season. Sure, there was a second round pick involved, but as I’ve been told since the Laremy Tunsil trade, draft picks are unknown and aren’t that valuable, especially the 40th overall pick when the going rate for a player like Hopkins is a first rounder at a minimum.
