The Houston Texans made a shocking move on Monday, deciding to trade All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals for David Johnson and two draft picks.
Hopkins was coming off his third straight season of 1,000-plus receiving yards while Johnson looked like a shell of himself this past season. He was benched for Chase Edmonds and Kenyan Drake last season. The trade was so bad that the Madden video game declined the actual agreed-upon terms.
It also briefly distracted the sports world from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
And for that, Texans star J.J. Watt went back to his reactionary tweet about the NBA suspending its season and applied it to the Texans’ puzzling trade.
Wild, indeed.
With a franchise-changing talent at quarterback in Deshaun Watson, Watt absolutely didn’t see the Texans trading away Watson’s top weapon for a significantly declining running back. Who could?
The tweet really was ahead of its time.
