It seems like a matter of time to see DeAndre Hopkins with another team. The wide receiver has not lived up to the expectations and the Arizona Cardinals are tired of him. Now, a former general manager of the team has slammed him for his contract demands.

Rumors say Hopkins won’t be part of the Cardinals anymore. After three years, the wide receiver has not been what they expected him to be and that’s why they are looking to trade him as soon as possible.

It won’t be easy for the Cardinals to trade the former Texan. According to reports, they are asking for at least a second-round pick and, if they don’t find an interested team, they would cut him to avoid paying him the 2023 season.

“Here’s the problem. The problem is his current contract,” former general manager Steve Keim saidon the Green Light podcast. “Hop was his own agent, and I can tell you that wasn’t the easiest [negotiation] in the world. Between him and Larry Fitzgerald, that put all the grey on my beard.”
