Why Cardinals cut DeAndre Hopkins instead of trading him Arizona reportedly unhappy with WR sitting out games

Between a free agency cla s that lacked a top wide receiver and a weaker draft cla s, the 2023 offseason was a prime time to trade a top-tier wide receiver. The Cardinals happened to have one.DeAndre Hopkins has been widely viewed as the top receiver on the offseason market in 2023 after standouts like Davante  Kyle Long Jersey Adams and Tyreek Hill were traded and signed to extensions last offseason. Suitors for the five-time Pro Bowl selection included Super Bowl contenders like the Bills, Chiefs and Eagles.The Cardinals, however, ended up taking a different route. Rather than trade Hopkins, the team announced on Friday the soon-to-be-31-year-old receiver .MORE: The decision initially appeared to be a puzzling one. Hopkins was unlikely to net returns like the ones Green Bay and Kansas City received for Adams and Hill, but something is still better than nothing Taylor Gabriel Jersey . However, the Cardinals were upset with Hopkins and wanted to just be sure to be rid of him.Arizona was reportedly frustrated Hopkins sat out the final two games of the 2022 season despite being healthy at the time. He had been listed out of those games with a knee injury, with coach Kliff Kingsbury saying Hopkins would have been closer to playing in Week 18 had it  Mike Ditka Jersey been meaningful for the team, but the knee was "something that's been nagging him.""We're just being cautious," Kingsbury said, .MORE: There had been some talks to trade Hopkins during the offseason, but Hopkins' contract proved to be a hangup. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported the only teams with "substantive" talks about Hopkins with Arizona were Buffalo and Kansas City, and that once Odell Beckham Jr. signed a one-year, $15 million deal with the Ravens, progre s was halted.Hopkins was lined up to bring a $30 million cap hit in 2023 and a $25.4 million cap hit in  Mitchell Trubisky Jersey 2024, but now will be just a $22.6 million dead cap hit for the Cardinals. As a free agent, Hopkins will come at whatever cost a team is willing to pay him.There has been little drop-off in his performance in recent years. Hopkins caught 64 pa ses for 717 yards with three touchdowns in nine games in 2022, averaging his second-most yards per game (79.7) over the past four years. His yards per reception (11.2) were tied for the second-lowest of his career, however.But with Hopkins heading into his age-31 season, teams are certainly expected to be a bit more reluctant to sign him Devin Hester Jersey  for top dollar as he exits the prime of his career.
