Before the Houston Texans traded wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday, Houston was reportedly in talks with the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to Brandon Lee Gowton of Bleeding Green, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter divulged the discussions between Houston and Philly during an appearance on 97.5 The Fanatic on Wednesday.
But Arizona pulled off a heist, as it reportedly agreed to send running back David Johnson, a 2020 second-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick to the Texans for Hopkins and a 2020 fourth-round pick.
