Houston sends a 2027 second-round pick and a 2027 sixth-rounder to Arizona for Harrison and a 2027 seventh, a move confirmed as the Texans beat the Titans 26-3 for their first win of the season.
Word that the Cardinals were moving on from Marvin Harrison Jr., the No. 4 pick of the 2024 draft, broke Saturday with no destination attached. The answer arrived Sunday, right as Arizona kicked off at home against the Lions and Houston was finishing off Tennessee on the road.
DeMeco Ryans spent part of his postgame news conference dodging questions about Harrison before changing his mind on the way out the door. "You guys want to know, huh? Yes, we traded for Marvin Harrison. See ya!" he said, closing the book on a trade that had been reported but not confirmed through the first three quarters of two different games.
Harrison was inactive for Arizona's game against Detroit, which was still in the first quarter when Ryans made it official. Houston gives up a 2027 second-round pick and a 2027 sixth-rounder, while Arizona sends back a 2027 seventh along with Harrison.
The Texans, now coming off a 26-3 win that snapped a winless start to the season, add Harrison in hopes of giving their offense another weapon. Mike LaFleur said the trade talk swirling around Arizona's game was not a distraction and not why the Cardinals' offense struggled Sunday.
