Marvin Harrison Jr. trade watch is finally over, with a deal that sends the 2024 first-round pick to link up with his college quarterback.
The Cardinals are sending Harrison to the Texans in a trade that will net Arizona some valuable picks in the 2027 NFL Draft. Meanwhile, the Texans — whose head coach, DeMeco Ryans, announced the deal at the end of his postgame press conference —land a wide receiver with untapped potential who hasn’t lived up to his draft billing. The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero was the first to report that the Texans nabbed Harrison in a trade. That scoop came around 24 hours after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported a Harrison trade was imminent, but declined to name which team would get the wideout. It was an odd time to be a news-watcher, to say the least.
Cardinals-Texans Marvin Harrison Jr. Swap Puts NFL Trade Deadline In Focus
While the Vikings-Giants deal that sent J.J. McCarthy from Minnesota to New York kicked off festivities ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL Trade Deadline, the swap that sent Harrison from the Cardinals to the Texans seems far more meaningful. Not only because Harrison has more upside than McCarthy, but also because of the cost of doing business.

The Texans coughed up two picks in the 2027 NFL Draft (a second-round selection and a sixth-rounder) to reunite Harrison with C.J. Stroud, his quarterback at Ohio State. That is significant draft capital. It sets a high bar for teams elsewhere looking to trade for a wide receiver ahead of the deadline. And I wonder if it will raise the general price of trades elsewhere. Only time will tell.

Perenic/The Columbus / USA TODAY NETWORKAt one point, a vocal group of Bears fans (and some in the media) wanted the team to pass on taking quarterback Caleb Williams in the 2024 NFL Draft and instead trade the pick for a haul, draft Marvin Harrison Jr., and build around Justin Fields. I was really on board with, but I understood why some Bears fans were intrigued by the possibility — even if I disagreed with the idea.

Harrison was an elite talent coming out of Ohio State. The son of Indianapolis Colts Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison Sr., the younger Harrison was a two-time unanimous All-American and the 2023 Biletnikoff Award winner. Unfortunately, Harrison (108 catches, 1,578 receiving yards, and 13 touchdowns in 33 games) has yet to live up to his prospect pedigree. Maybe he’ll find his stride in Houston.
