I never made the connection until now. You'd think Beane would be all over Hopkins when he heard he was available, but maybe the bad blood between Tre and Hopkins gave him pause:

This can certainly just be the case of two top players being competitive, but the locker room culture is fantastic right now and maybe Beane thought this would have a negative effect.

Who knows, just thought it was interesting to consider.

 

Nothing burger.  If they were teammates they would work it out.

 

I would imagine the Texans had no interest in trading Hopkins to an AFC rival, is as far as you need to go.

Everyone knew he was available.  O'Brien liked Johnson and viewed him as an asset.  From his point of view, he preferred Johnson and a 2nd over a 1st from another team. Most fans and analysts disagree with O'Brien on Johnson's value.  Hopkins also wants 20 million a year even though he is under contract for 3 years.  Teams didn't want to surrender high draft picks then deal with a holdout or give him a huge raise.
