The Arizona Cardinals have officially traded wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans for a 2027 second-round pick and a seventh-round pick. The trade follows weeks of negotiations influenced by the Texans' poor start to the season.
Why it matters
This trade significantly impacts the roster construction and competitive outlook for both NFL franchises involved.
The Cardinals and Texans ’ Marvin Harrison Jr. trade is now official. The third-year wide receiver passed his Texans physical Monday and will begin preparing to make his Houston debut.
Arizona will receive 2027 second- and seventh-round picks from Houston for the former No. 4 overall pick. For a bit, it looked like the Cardinals would add a 2028 second-rounder as the centerpiece of a Texans Harrison proposal, but the NFC West team convinced a then-winless AFC South outfit to make the pick a 2027 second. That was enough for the Cards, who had deactivated Harrison for Sunday amid a wave of reports a trade was imminent , to pull the plug on the struggling pass catcher.
