After three seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, DeAndre Hopkins is looking for a new team.
The star wide receiver was subject to heavy trade speculation this offseason, but that’s not going to materialize. Arizona has opted to release him outright, per a team announcement on Friday.
Some financial details to go along with the news of his release:
The Cardinals will absorb a dead salary cap hit of $21 million in 2023, but he will be cleared from the books after that. (They could declare him a June 1 cut, which would allow them to spread the hit evenly over this season and next if they choose.
