Everyone said the same thing about the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade

Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Marvin Harrison Jr. is officially on the move, and one aspect of the deal had NFL fans shocked.

The Arizona Cardinals are trading Harrison to the Houston Texans, according to multiple reports. The Texans are giving up a second- and sixth-round pick to bring Harrison in.

In light of Harrison’s underwhelming production at the NFL level, fans were stunned that the Cardinals were able to get a second-round pick for him. Even more remarkable is the fact that the Texans are 1-4, raising the possibility that it could be a pretty high second-round pick heading Arizona’s way.

Truly incredible by the Cardinals to net a 2027 second

This is an incredibly pricey trade for a player who has not played anywhere close to his expectations.

A 2027 second-round pick from a 1-4 team!

The price the Texans paid certainly speaks to Harrison’s pedigree. The Cardinals picked him No. 4 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he was widely regarded as one of the best players on the board that year. The production, however, has not matched the hype. Through two-plus seasons, he has tallied just 1,578 receiving yards, which works out to 47.8 yards per game. Those poor numbers cannot be solely blamed on quarterback play, as he has had some very bad drops.

The Texans are betting that reuniting Harrison with CJ Stroud, his college quarterback, will unlock his potential. If it does not happen, they could come to regret this deal quickly. A lot of fans certainly think they will.
