Cardinals Seeking 2nd-Rounder For Marvin Harrison Jr.; Unclear If Texans Are Favorites

The Arizona Cardinals have officially moved on from Marvin Harrison Jr., with the wide receiver’s tenure in the desert now over after failing to meet the lofty expectations set by his fourth-overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. Harrison, who struggled to replicate his Ohio State production, has seen his role diminish significantly this season, managing just five catches for 85 yards and a touchdown through four games.

His decline continued from a 2025 campaign where he managed 41 receptions for 608 yards and four touchdowns, down from his rookie year totals of 62 catches, 885 yards, and eight scores. The Cardinals are now seeking a second-round draft pick in trade, though it remains unclear if the Houston Texans—long seen as a potential destination—will reunite Harrison with former Ohio State teammate and Texans quarterback C.J.

Stroud. Reports suggest Houston has pulled back from the conversation, leaving Arizona to explore other options, including teams desperate for wide receiver help or those willing to meet their asking price.

Harrison’s limited involvement in the offense, including a three-game stretch with one or zero receptions, has fueled speculation that he may need a fresh start to reignite his career, though league sources question whether his production justifies the Cardinals’ draft capital.
