Jonathan Gannon talks about wide receiver’s future
Jonathan Gannon will be tasked with getting the Arizona Cardinals offense back on track next season. The Cardinals have made it clear this offseason they plan to help quarterback Kyler Murray succeed. Murray, who is the franchise’s leader, is rehabbing from an injury this offseason. Gannon spoke about one player’s future who could aid Murray and the Cardinals’ quest to have an elite offense.
According to Darren Urban with the Cardinals, Gannon was asked about wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The Cardinals are keeping an eye out for potential trades for the All-Pro wide receiver.
“As for DeAndre Hopkins, it remains possible he stays in 2023, but a potential trade certainly hasn’t been discarded. Ossenfort talked again about having a conversation with Hopkins and his representative – Hopkins didn’t have an agent when he signed his last contract with the Cardinals.
“I’m not sure,” Gannon said. “We are evaluating everyone. I know this – he’s a premier receiver you have to have a plan for (to defend). He limits you with how you have to play defense. … He’s a valuable asset for us.”
Hopkins would certainly fetch value in a trade. But the veteran wide receiver has shown he’s an asset to the Cardinals’ arsenal when matched with a healthy Murray.
