The Arizona Cardinals may have to lower their asking price if they are to trade wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, alerting the New England Patriots and other teams around the NFL.
The Patriots have been heavily linked with a trade for Hopkins as they look to bolster their options at wide receiver, although a move for Juju Smith-Schuster has raised questions over whether they've already moved on. According to The Athletic, the Patriots held early conversations with the Cardinals about Hopkins, but the two teams remained far apart when it came to negotiations.
The Cardinals will not want to let Hopkins go cheaply, and according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler they're seeking a 'Christian McAffrey type deal' for their star. But they may have to lower their asking price, which could reignite interest in Hopkins.
