Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins Denies Contract Holdout Speculation on Twitter

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins shot down speculation Monday that he is holding out of training camp for a new contract.

In response to a tweet from John McClain of the Houston Chronicle on the subject, Hopkins tweeted the following:

McClain tweeted a link to a story by Walter Mitchell from Revenge of the Birds. In that article, it was speculated that Hopkins missed the Cards' first padded practice because of a holdout rather than the hamstring injury the team announced.

Arizona acquired Hopkins and a 2020 fourth-round pick from the Houston Texans in March for running back David Johnson, a 2020 second-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick.
