The Houston Texans reportedly traded away DeAndre Hopkins on Monday in a surprising move, and details are emerging about what caused the deal.
According to Dianna Russini of ESPN, the receiver wanted a new contract worth $18 million to $20 million per year and was willing to hold out until he got it.
Michael Irvin also said Wednesday on ESPN's Get Up that there was a "power struggle" between Hopkins and head coach Bill O'Brien:
"Coach O'Brien thought he had too much influence in the locker room," Irvin said.
