Arizona Cardinals trade for DeAndre Hopkins was the Sloan Analytics Transaction of the Year

There are no doubters left on the DeAndre Hopkins trade, if there ever were.

MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference was last week and the Arizona Cardinals won a big award.

The team was awarded the Transaction of the Year for their trade for DeAndre Hopkins.

From the team:

The Arizona Cardinals acquisition of All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has received the Alpha Award for “Best Sports Transaction of the Year” from the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. The announcement was made at the group’s 2021 gathering on Friday.

In March of last year, the Cardinals agreed to a trade with the Houston Texans that brought Hopkins and a 2020 fourth-round pick to Arizona in exchange for running back David Johnson, a 2020 second-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick.
