Follow Us
DeAndre Hopkins spent 6 years with the Houston Texans before deciding to move on in search of success. The veteran wide receiver joined the Arizona Cardinals last year in a deal that was touted as ‘the worst NFL trade of all time’ from a Texans perspective.
Now, the former Clemson Tigers man is interested in luring former Texans teammate JJ Watt to the Cardinals this offseason.
Earlier this month, Watt and the Texans mutually agreed to part ways owing to a disastrous outing in the 2020 NFL season. Watt will turn 32 in March but is still regarded as one of the best defensive ends in the league.

They made a slight improvement under Interim Head Coach Romeo Crennel, but ended their campaign with a 4-12 record.
