The Arizona Cardinals announced the release of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, making him a free agent immediately. It brought to a close a long offseason of waiting and rumors.
The team tried to trade him before the draft unsuccessfully.
Hopkins is not upset.
Now he gets to sign with the team of his choice and he hopes to both land with a contending team and be able to produce at a high level.
He said goodbye to Cardinals fans with a collage of photos on social media.
