I’ve seen enough chatter in the replies and tweets on Twitter this probably needs to be addressed. It is extremely intriguing that the Arizona Cardinals are shopping DeAndre Hopkins.
On Tuesday, I tweeted that, although it is very dream centric, it would be extremely awesome for the Cowboys to acquire Hopkins and add him as WR1a to CeeDee Lamb and combine him with Brandin Cooks and Michael Gallup to form an extremely dominant Big 4. Several replies to that tweet, as well as elsewhere on the web, indicated the Cowboys should include Gallup in the trade to get out of his, what-seemed-bad-and-still-seems-bad contract.
Ayo if the Cowboys pulled off a Hopkins trade after reworking Cooks and Dallas had a Big 4 of Lamb, Hopkins, Cooks, Gallup?????
Lawd have mercy.
I'm dreaming, but… sheesh.

Following that (unrelated, obviously), SI’s Albert Breer said in a Wednesday mailbag it is more likely the Cardinals are going to receive a package closer to what Dallas offered for Cooks than the 2nd-round-plus package they were asking for. That once again has set off talks that Dallas could offer something like their fourth rounder and Gallup to get the deal done.
Only they can’t.
