Sunday games could affect Marvin Harrison Jr. trade plans
Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is reportedly close to being traded and is expected to sit out Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions while details are finalized.
The Houston Texans are widely viewed as the likely destination, though the Las Vegas Raiders have also been mentioned.
A move to Houston would reunite Harrison with quarterback C.J. Stroud, his former teammate at Ohio State.
Sunday’s results could affect Houston’s interest: a loss to the Tennessee Titans might make the Texans less willing to give up future assets, and an injury to Stroud could weaken the appeal of the reunion.
Injuries to other teams’ starting receivers could also bring new contenders into the trade discussions.
The destination has not been confirmed, and the outcome of Sunday’s games could change the trade picture.
