With DeAndre Hopkins out from under the two-year, $54.5 million contract the Cardinals signed him to back in 2020, he's suddenly the most popular receiver in the NFL.
The 30-year-old receiver is garnering interest from multiple teams, including the Bills, Patriots, and Cowboys. In spite of a lackluster few seasons that have been marred by injury and a suspension for banned substances, receiver-needy teams clearly see him as the best option available.
According to reports, the Bills and Chiefs made inroads on trade talks with the Cardinals before Hopkins' release, but ultimately nothing materialized thanks in part to Hopkins' contract.
