The Arizona Cardinals released receiver DeAndre Hopkins last week. What next?
After a week off of the podcast, Seth Cox and I discuss everything related to Hopkins’ release — why did it happen, where will he land and where are the Cardinals at now at receiver?
We also discuss safety Budda Baker and what it means when he says he will be there when it’s time to be there. We assume it means he will be in minicamp in a couple of weeks.
Finally, we broach the topic of tanking. Is that really what the Cardinals are doing? We make the case that it isn’t exactly what they are doing and why.
