Nick Caserio: Marvin Harrison Jr. trade was finalized on Friday

The Houston Texans officially completed the trade for wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Arizona Cardinals on Friday evening, according to general manager Nick Caserio.

The deal was finalized well before Sunday’s game, contrary to initial speculation that the Texans’ victory over the Titans might have influenced the transaction. Caserio dismissed the idea that the outcome of the game played any role, emphasizing that the agreement was already locked in and not contingent on Houston’s performance.

Earlier reports had suggested Harrison’s departure from Arizona was imminent but failed to name the Texans as the destination, leaving the full details unclear until Caserio’s confirmation.
