TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals released wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on Friday, the team announced.
Hopkins' future with the Cardinals had been in question since the end of the 2022 season because of his team-high $30.75 million cap hit, which ranked tops among wide receivers in the NFL and was seventh highest overall.
Hopkins, 30, had been at the center of trade speculation for months, but the Cardinals didn't deal the wide receiver during April's NFL draft.
Said general manager Monti Ossenfort at the time: "DeAndre's a Cardinal, and we're moving forward.
The Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots had been among the teams reportedly interested in pursuing Hopkins.
Hopkins skipped the Cardinals' voluntary organized team activities this month, saying on the "I Am Athlete" podcast with Brandon Marshall that he was instead in Toronto to work out.
He had 2,696 yards and 17 touchdowns on 221 catches in his three seasons in Arizona, including 64 catches for a team-leading 717 yards and three touchdowns last season. Hopkins missed the first six games of the 2022 season after being suspended for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy.
Without Hopkins, the Cardinals' wide receiver corps will be led by Marquise Brown (67 catches for 709 yards in 2022), Greg Dortch (52 catches, 467 yards) and Rondale Moore (41 catches, 414 yards).
Hopkins was traded to the Cardinals in March 2020 from the Houston Texans along with a fourth-round pick in exchange for running back David Johnson, a second-round pick and a fourth-round pick in 2021.

Best ball drafts will be going wild...expecting Brown and Moore to be bumped up AT LEAST a round in the next 24 hours.

Dortch has not been getting drafted , maybe now he will.

Maybe the Colts will sign him, they could use a vet WR.

he's getting old and AZ is tanking anyway

he broke his leg in 2021 and didn't play much last year cause the PED suspension, tough to say how much he has left but probably still be an upgrade for a contender

On a recent appearance on the “I Am Athlete” podcast, free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins listed the five QBs he’d most like to catch passes from: the Bills’ Josh Allen, the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts, the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, the Ravens’ Lamar Jackson and the Chargers’ Justin Herbert.

Wouldn’t mind the Eagles taking a shot to sign Hopkins with a one year deal with incentives….would be a scary #3WR
