Marvin Harrison Jr. has been traded from the Cardinals to the Texans amid scrutiny over his performance since being a fourth overall pick in 2024. Harrison had a promising rookie year, accumulating 885 yards and eight touchdowns, but his production declined in his second season as he struggled with drops.
