1. DeAndre Hopkins

Hopkins is coming off of the worst two seasons of his career after posting a strong season in his first year with Kyler Murray. For whatever reason, the fit in Arizona hasn’t worked with Murray consistently injured and Hopkins in and out of the lineup as well. DeAndre is looking for a fresh start and the Cardinals need draft picks and to clear cap space to start a possible rebuild.

Murray will be out for much of the 2023 season it seems leaving the Cardinals with little choice but to set themselves up for a great draft pick.  Hopkins in Atlanta would give Atlanta three stars that set up Ridder for success with Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and Hopkins.

If Ridder doesn’t prove to be the answer Atlanta still has all three under contract and becomes a very attractive landing spot for top quarterbacks. Hopkins might not be the player he was during his time in Houston, however, he has still proven when healthy to be an elite receiver capable of consistently impacting games at a high level.
