DeAndre Hopkins said he didn't have a relationship with Bill O'Brien prior to his trade from the Houston Texans to the Arizona Cardinals.

“There was no relationship,” Hopkins said. “Make sure you put that in there. There’s not a lot to speak about.”

The Texans framed the trade as part of an economic reality. Hopkins signed a five-year extension in 2017 that guaranteed him $49 million, but that deal became outdated. Hopkins wanted another extension with an average of $22 million.
