What rumblings about DeAndre Hopkins could mean for a possible Texans reunion
HOUSTON HOMECOMING?
07 April 2023
Former Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been the subject of a lot of trade rumors in recent weeks, and now many are predicting that D-Hop will be released as the Cardinals are struggling to find a trade partner.
Hopkins' cap number is around 30 million dollars this season, and that seems to be the main factor holding up any potential trades. If Hopkins is released by Arizona, should the Texans be looking for a reunion with the former All-Pro receiver?
He would certainly be the clear-cut No. 1 weapon for the Texans, and if Houston drafts a QB in the first round, having Hopkins as a security blanket would come in handy for a developing young quarterback.
But would Hopkins want to return to Houston? Many asked that same question about DeMeco Ryans before he accepted the position as head coach this offseason. With Bill O'Brien and Jack Easterby out of the organization, maybe Hopkins would view the team in a more favorable light.
Be sure to check out the video above as we discuss the possibility of Hopkins returning to Houston, and weigh in on rumors of D-Hop looking to join Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Right-handed relief pitcher Kendall Graveman has finalized a $1.35 million, one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team said Monday.
The 34-year-old Graveman figures to add depth to the D-backs bullpen and could compete for the closer’s role. He missed last season following surgery in January 2024 to repair the labrum in his right shoulder.
Since he switched to a full-time relief role in 2021, he has a 2.74 ERA and 193 strikeouts over 187 1/3 innings.
Graveman first pitched in the big leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014 and went on to the Oakland Athletics, Chicago White Sox, Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros.
He last pitched for the White Sox and Astros in 2023, finishing the season with a 3.12 ERA over 68 appearances. He has a 37-43 record over nine MLB seasons with a 3.95 ERA and 24 saves.
