Cardinals Finalizing Deal to Trade WR Marvin Harrison, Reports Say
Houston is a leading suitor as Harrison is held out while Arizona finalizes a deal, with a second-round pick and more sought in return.
The Arizona Cardinals are finalizing a trade involving wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions while the deal is completed.
Harrison, who had a slow start to the season, recently hired agents Todd France and Tory Dandy to navigate a potential exit from Arizona after recording just one catch in two games.
Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort reportedly sought first-round value for the receiver, though rival teams valued him closer to a Day 2 pick, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
The Houston Texans have emerged as a primary suitor for the 24-year-old, with sources confirming the organization has held trade talks to potentially reunite Harrison with college quarterback C.J. Stroud.
Acquiring teams face a $4 million salary this season and $5.62 million next year, alongside an impending fifth-year option decision that motivated the Cardinals to move the receiver before the deadline.
