The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly asking for a second-round pick and more for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, but other teams are not willing to meet that price. Hopkins has been linked to several teams, including the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, and New England Patriots. Despite the asking price, some experts believe the Cardinals will receive a lower draft pick package similar to what the Houston Texans received for Brandin Cooks. If the Cardinals trade Hopkins before June 2, they would free up $8.1 million in cap space but also take a dead-money hit of $22.6 million.
