PODCAST: What do the Cardinals do now after DeAndre Hopkins’ suspension?

The Arizona Cardinals suffered crushing news this week that wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been suspended for the first six games of the 2022 season after testing positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance.

So what do they do now?

The news prompted an extra podcast episode, so there will be two this week.

In this edition, Revenge of the Birds’ Seth Cox and I break down all the angles of the suspension — our reactions, what did does to the Cardinals and to Hopkins’ legacy, how the team can and should adjust, the impact of Hollywood Brown and even Dez Bryant.
