There was some sort of justification, and you guys were very well compensated for it.

With the Texans, there is no tomorrow to look forward to. No draft haul to rely on. Just some guy who rushed for 300 yards last season.

I'm not being smart here (for once) but what confounds me is people saying things like, "if David Johnson regains his form". Always thought that Running Back was the ultimate short-shelf-life position- they take such a beating- and, once you've lost it, you've lost it. How many running backs have ever effected a comeback after their prime is over? Any?

Bingo. This is trading a brand new, top of the line Porsche 911 Turbo S for a 1987 Toyota Camry. Sure, the Camry was nice ...a while ago. But, it's not going to be nice like it was back then.

Some guy on another forum thinks this is a good trade, lol

 

Hopkins disappeared last season.

Jax 5 rec 40 yds 0 tds
Car 5 rec 41 yds 0 tds
Jax 8 rec 48 yds 1 tds
KC 9 rec 55 yds 0 tds
TB 5 rec 23 yds 0 tds
NE 5 rec 64 yds 0 tds

Good player? Sure, but it would be idiotic to overpay when rookie WRs are blowing up in the NFL at a fraction of the cost.
