Titans' Kevin Byard reacts to Texans trading DeAndre Hopkins

March 16, 2020 by Titans Wire Leave a Comment

The Houston Texans made a stunning trade on Monday that sent superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals for running back David Johnson. Picks were also exchanged in the deal.

Nobody on this planet is happier than the member of the Tennessee Titans’ secondary, as they now won’t have to face Hopkins twice a year after he has averaged 101 yards per game over 13 career contests against the Titans.

Safety Kevin Byard reacted, and it echoes the mood of all Titans players and fans right now.

Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu, who shared his sympathy for Derrick Henry getting a tag instead of a contract extension earlier in the day, clearly wasn’t happy about his former teammate getting traded.

Smfh.

Interestingly enough, Hopkins went from one of Mathieu’s former teams to the other, as the Cardinals drafted the safety in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

In his last game against the Titans in Week 15 of the 2019 season, Hopkins totaled six catches for 119 yards in the Texans’ win. Thankfully, the Titans’ defense won’t have to worry about him anymore.
