Any joy the Arizona Cardinals had about not having to face Jalen Ramsey two times a season following the trade that saw the Los Angeles Rams send him to the Miami Dolphins was zapped as the release of star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on Friday.

Shortly after the news of Hopkins' release, many players took to Twitter, some to start the recruiting of the former first-round draft pick. At the same time, Ramsey made a joke about the former Clemson product following his example by leaving the NFC West.

"I leave a division, Hop leave the division too,” Ramsey wrote on Twitter. “Kinda seems like it’s meant to be that way now. Hop still a top WR! Let’s see where he goes.”

Coincidence? One would assume so, but this isn't the first time these two players have mirrored each other regarding movement. 

Back in 2019, when Ramsey was still with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Hopkins the Houston Texans, they both left the AFC South shortly after one another. Ramsey was traded from the Jaguars to the Rams in October of that year, while Hopkins would be traded to the Cardinals in March 2020. 

These parallels may not be over, as it is a possibility that Hopkins will join the AFC East by signing with either the Buffalo Bills or the New England Patriots. 

According to BetOnline, the Bills have 6/1 odds to land the star playmaker, while the Patriots host 5/1 odds.
