While the Cardinals are allowing DeAndre Hopkins the opportunity to secure a potential trade, things have been fairly quiet on his future plans.
However, former Cardinals general manager Steve Keim suggested Hopkins has not yet been traded because of his current contract. The five-time Pro Bowler is slated to earn $19.45 million in 2023 and $14.9 million in ’24 under his current deal.
Hopkins’s production has dropped significantly since the 2020 season, when he recorded 1,407 receiving yards on 115 receptions. In 2021, he was limited to 42 catches in just 10 games, and last year, he recorded 717 receiving yards in nine games after completing a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s rules against performance enhancing drugs.
