Why it matters
This trade significantly impacts the roster composition and future draft capital for both the Cardinals and the Texans.
At the end of his news conference Sunday, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed his team acquired wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in a trade with the Cardinals. The Cardinals announced the trade Monday.
