The Arizona Cardinals will trade Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans for a 2027 2nd-round pick, and a 2027 6th-round pick. Hence, this shakes up both team’s wide receiver depth charts.
The move, reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN, also includes Arizona sending a 7th-round pick to the Texans. Now, the Texans have the wideout reuniting with former Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud.
As for the Cardinals, they’ve been preparing for this move for quite a while. Now, they’ll rely on other weapons to keep the passing game moving. After all, it was an underwhelming stint for Harrison in Arizona.

Harrison thrived in College Football with Stroud as his quarterback. In 2022, Harrison racked up 77 catches for 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns with Stroud. The chemistry is there, now the Texans need to unlock Harrison’s potential.
