Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Arizona's trade for DeAndre Hopkins became one of the most lopsided modern NFL deals. The Cardinals acquired an elite wide receiver and a fourth-round pick while sending David Johnson and draft compensation to Houston. Hopkins immediately gave Arizona a true No. 1 target. Houston's return never came close. The trade still stands out because Arizona landed the best player in the deal without paying anything close to a normal superstar price.
Trade 2 of 2
Minnesota acquired defensive lineman Ross Blacklock and a 2023 seventh-round pick from Houston on August 30, 2022, sending a 2023 sixth-round selection in return. Blacklock played one season for the Vikings before being released. Houston’s acquired pick became No. 201, Jarrett Patterson, while Minnesota later moved the seventh-rounder in another trade.
