Quote:
I would say the deal with Arizona was a deal that we felt was in the best interest of our team," O'Brien said Friday on a conference call for Texans season-ticket holders. "DeAndre Hopkins was a great football player here. He made so many plays for us. We love DeAndre Hopkins. But he had three years left on his deal and he wanted a raise. And we weren't going to be able to go in that direction. We felt like we had a great offer from Arizona that involved picks. That involved an excellent three-down running back who is hungry and humble and just can't wait to get started. David Johnson is going to be a great addition to our football team.
"There's a lot of things that go into trades. Lot of thoughts that go in. How much are you going to take on contractually? How much does it take to buy that second-round pick, that No. 40 pick? What type of player are you bringing in? What type of player are you losing and what is in the best interest of the team?"

Jesus effing Christ. How do you give a man like that so much power? He's not only a bad HC, he's also ruining the franchise long-term. Can't wait to see Tunsils deal, he's already said he wants to be the highest-paid tackle in the league and the Texans don't exactly have a lot of leverage after trading two 1sts for him.
Have to feel for Texans fans and also for Deshaun Watson.
