The NFL offseason has been full of surprises, and the latest one is the Tennessee Titans trading for DeAndre Hopkins. According to an Associated Press source, the Houston Texans have agreed to trade the All-Pro wide receiver to the Titans in exchange for a package that includes a 2020 fourth-round pick and running back David Johnson.
The move is a major coup for the Titans, who have been looking to add a top-tier wide receiver to their offense. Hopkins is one of the best wide receivers in the league, and he will provide a much-needed boost to Tennessee’s passing game. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons, and he has over 1,000 receiving yards in each of those years.
The Texans, meanwhile, are getting a solid return for Hopkins. Johnson is a veteran running back who can provide depth at the position, while the fourth-round pick can be used to address other needs. The trade also frees up some salary cap space for Houston, which could be used to sign other free agents or extend current players.
The move is sure to have ripple effects throughout the league. The Titans now have one of the best wide receiver duos in the NFL with Hopkins and A.J. Brown, while the Texans will need to find a replacement for Hopkins. It will be interesting to see how this trade affects both teams in the coming season.
