Cardinals fans appear to have gotten an update when it comes to the DeAndre Hopkins trade rumors—this time from the man himself. In a video posted to his Instagram story Monday, the wide receiver showed up at the Cardinals facility with a message.
“I see everybody telling me to stay, who said I wanna go?” Hopkins said. “Who said I wanted to leave? I’m out here working, baby.”
Trade rumors have swirled during the offseason and things took a dramatic turn when Hopkins appeared to hint he was interested in other teams back in April.
Looks like DeAndre Hopkins is back in Arizona, via his IG.

While being interviewed on the All Things Covered podcast, the Patriots, Bills, Jets and Chiefs were named, and Hopkins was asked to react to each team without saying a word based on how much he wanted to play for them. He not-so-subtly smiled when both the Bills and Chiefs were named.
Not soon after, Bills linebacker Von Miller said Hopkins told him he wanted to join Buffalo, but it was reported by Tim Graham of The Athletic on March 28 that the Bills will not trade for Hopkins “barring a significant development.”
The latest development points towards the five-time All-Pro suiting up for Arizona in 2023. But it’s a long time until the regular season.
