Hammer news in the NFL! The Arizona Cardinals fired star receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The franchise itself announced this on Friday after no trade partner could be found. The split leaves the Cardinals with a $22.6 million dead cap for the upcoming season. The 30-year-old came via trade from the Houston Texans in 2020 but has missed a total of 15 games in the past two years through injury. Between 2017 and 2019, Hopkins was named a first-team all-pro three times in a row. He was selected for the Pro Bowl five times. The Cardinals are in a state of upheaval following the split of head coach Kliff Kingsbury and general manager Steve Keim and are entering the season as favorites for the first overall pick of the 2024 draft.
