Arizona Cardinals explain decision to release DeAndre Hopkins - "it's no big deal"

After months of speculation about his future, DeAndre Hopkins was suddenly released by the Arizona Cardinals last week.

The wide receiver has been linked with a trade for some time, with many speculating that the franchise could use Hopkins to their advantage during the 2023 NFL Draft. Hopkins remains a desired option around the NFL, but the wide receiver is now an unrestricted free agent after the Cardinals decided to cut all ties with the 30-year-old.

Hopkins is now free to speak to other teams regarding his immediate future, but the Cardinals have finally justified the decision. Head coach Jonathan Gannon was only hired by the franchise in February, but has explained why they let Hopkins go for nothing.
