The Texans could consider trading DeAndre Hopkins, according to Peter King of NBC Sports. Two teams tell King that it’s a situation to watch, despite Hopkins’ accomplishments and his contract. 
Hopkins is under contract for another three years with $40MM owed – a team-friendly deal, considering his ability. However, the Texans are desperate for draft capital. They do not have a top-50 choice this year or next year and the Texans have some gaping holes to fill on the offensive line and in the secondary. And, looking ahead, they need an injection of younger players in the front seven with stars J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus on the wrong side of 30.
The Texans resisted calls on Hopkins before last year’s deadline and he went on to finish the year with 104 catches for 1,165 yards and seven touchdowns. That performance earned him his third straight Pro Bowl nomination and his third straight year as a First-Team All-Pro. Still, the Texans felt that he was not as explosive last year and this could be an opportune time to move him as he closes in on his 28th birthday.
Speculatively, King wonders if the Patriots, 49ers, Giants, and Dolphins would be logical fits for a deal.
Excellent idea. Texans make the playoffs every season. Lets end that skid by getting rid of the best player.
Geez. These guys have no idea what they are doing. The only thing you can say is this draft is loaded with WRs. But.. they are trading a cost controlled WR to end up drafting one?
Green Bay! He and Adams would arguably be the best WR duo in the game.
Green Bay is paying their linebackers too much money for that deal but maybe there’s a chance with Jimmy Graham being cut
if the rumor of the pats for two 1st’s, i truly wouldnt mind as long as fuller can stay healthy.
Raiders trade for him then sign Brady
Their quarterback is 23? Why trade his go to guy??? Unless someone offers you the world!
I mean if the Pats want to lock up Brady and Hopkins is available, they need to go hard after him. 1st round pick for Hopkins?
