The biggest trade of the day involved superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins
DeAndre Hopkins and a fourth round pick go to Cards for David Johnson and a second round pick this year and a fourth round pick next year.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray agrees with Skip:
LETS GET RIGHT! @DeAndreHopkins

Hopkins has posted 1,000+ yard receiving seasons in five of his seven years in the NFL, including the last three seasons. He is also one of the NFL’s most durable wideouts, having missed only two games in his career.

In his first eight NFL seasons – all with the New York Giants – Pierre-Paul was a terror on offensive lines across the league, and he’s done the same for the Buccaneers, racking up 21 sacks in 26 games.
Austin Hooper
The Cleveland Browns paid free agent tight end Austin Hooper.
Austin Hooper has agreed to terms on a 4-year deal with the Cleveland Browns that will re-set the TE market in guaranteed money and APY. Hooper will make $23 million, all guaranteed, over the first 2 seasons, and $10.5M per year over 4. https://t.co/nUMAjnGuZx

Hooper spent his first four NFL seasons in Atlanta and was a Pro Bowler in 2018 and 2019.
Austin Hooper will be a more consistently dependable target for Baker Mayfield than Odell was or will be. Solid signing by the Browns.
