A DeAndre Hopkins trade could be even more likely due to a positive drug test last spring, Chris Mason of Masslive reports.

The Cardinals wide receiver had a no-trade clause in his last contract extension, but according to CBS Sports, that no longer exists because of a PED suspension. Of course, that opens up a world of possibilities to Arizona, who could create a real bidding war and receive much higher compensation.

“The no-trade clause in Hopkins’ contract voided when he was suspended for the first six games of the 2022 season because of violating of the league’s performance enhancing substances policy,” Joel Corry writes.

So it’s now significantly easier for new Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort to find the right deal. As Arizona eyes a rebuild with Kyler Murray coming off ACL surgery, the 30-year-old wide receiver with two years left on his deal is a logical trade candidate.
