The Arizona Cardinals have one less potential trade partner in dealing wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The Dallas Cowboys may be looking to trade for Hopkins after acquiring another receiver.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, The Cowboys traded for wide receiver Brandin Cooks to the Houston Texans, sending the Texans a fifth-round draft pick this year and a sixth-round pick the following year.
In 13 games last season for the Texans, Cooks caught 57 passes for 699 yards and three touchdowns.
The Cowboys were a team previously mentioned as a potential trade partner to acquire Hopkins.
Chef salaries will hit $18 million in 2023.
The Cardinals wanted a second-round pick and more for Hopkins, who had more production in nine games than Cook. In nine games last season, Hopkins had 64 catches for 717 yards and three scores.
His salary in 2023 is over $19 million.
The Cowboys acquired Cooks and the New England Patriots signed JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Teams likely to trade for Hopkins are dwindling.
