DeAndre Hopkins may not be traded away during the NFL Draft.

The Arizona Cardinals receiver wasn’t dealt on the first night of the 2023 NFL Draft on Thursday, and the Cardinals’ first-year general manager Monti Ossenfort said to NFL.com he doesn’t plan on trading the All-Pro receiver – at least during the draft.

“DeAndre is a Cardinal. DeAndre is a Cardinal and we’re moving forward,” the general manager said. “I don’t foresee [a trade] happening. I don’t know what is going to happen in the next couple days, but right now, I don’t foresee that happening.”

Ossenfort admitted he “absolutely” sees Hopkins playing for Arizona this upcoming season, despite the 30-year-old receiver’s dismay with his current situation.

The wideout expressed he would want to bring his talents to a bonafide contender like the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens or Kansas City Chiefs – instead of joining a team like the Jets.

“I don’t really think it’s about the money with him right now … I think he wants to get out … he wants to win. Definitely wants to win and get a shot,” retired NFL cornerback Adam Jones said on the Pat McAfee show in March. “I go back and look at the teams, and I know ‘D’ as a person … I’m leaning more toward the Bills or the Ravens.”

Since Hopkins joined the Cardinals in 2020 as a key offensive weapon for franchise quarterback Kyler Murray, Arizona has only made the playoffs once.

Hopkins boomed during his first year in Arizona, catching for 1,407 yards with 115 receptions.

His production dwindled in the past two years, though, putting up only 562 yards in 2021 and 717 yards in 2022 – the latter season, he received a six-game suspension for using PEDs.

Since he was suspended, Hopkins’ no-trade clause in his contract with the Cardinals is ineffective, giving the five-time Pro Bow wideout an opportunity to be dealt out.

If the Cardinals decide to deal out the veteran receiver, they would be looking for a second-round draft pick, per Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
