The Houston Texans traded three-time All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals for All-Pro running back David Johnson on Monday.
Some Texans players took to Twitter to react to the big news of the 2020 offseason to date.
Safety Justin Reid’s simple emoji may have summed up how Texans fans felt when they read the news.
Defensive tackle D.J. Reader, who is set to hit free agency and not be a part of the Texans’ long-term plans, may have been reacting to the news when he talked about how life throws curve balls.
Cornerback Lonnie Johnson retweeted an article from NFL.com and reacted with an emoji and simply, “Woah.”
Defensive end Charles Omenihu’s reaction was no reaction, but just a series of ellipses, which could also be classified as a reaction.
Receiver Kenny Stills posted a GIF of former Oklahoma City Thunder guard and current Houston Rocket Russell Westbrook reacting to a preposterous question in the locker room following a game.
With the Texans trading away Hopkins, the offense, and subsequently the team, is entering a brave new world that will challenge their ability to repeat as AFC South champions.
