Texans Trade for Marvin Harrison Jr. in High-Risk Bet

Marvin Harrison Jr. has been traded to the Texans, like was rumored. The Cardinals are sending Marvin Harrison Jr. Two years after taking him fourth overall, they are sending him to the Texans for a 2027 seventh round pick. Oh, and a second round pick. Sorry, for a second round pick. And a 2027 sixth round pick. They're getting Harrison in a seventh for a second in a sixth. The reason why this trade is happening is because of C.J. Stroud. That's the only reason why they are trying to bring back Maserati Marv with CJ Stroud at Ohio State. I don't know if this works, but finding another guy on the other side of Nico Collins has been a must for the Texans. They tried it with KeShawn Booty. It hasn't worked when they don't have Nico Collins on the field. That offense is inept. So they're bringing in and they're rolling the dice saying, okay, CJ Stroud had this guy at an elite level. We thought we were watching one of the greatest wide receivers like Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State come into the NFL and absolutely dominate the problem. And the question that I think everybody is asking about Marvin Harrison Jr. is whether or not he cares about playing football because the one thing since all of us, When you step onto a playing surface, a basketball court, a football field, whatever it might be, when you're six years old, the one thing your coaches will always tell you, you can control your effort. That's it. You can't control the way the game goes. You can't control where the ball goes. You can't control the outcome of the game. But what you can do is you can control the way you're going to play, how hard you're going to work. Your effort is entirely your responsibility. So if you don't play hard and the tape is so brutal on Marvin Harrison Jr., when you watch him run routes for the Cardinals, he's not even going half speed. He is lollygagging. He is completely disconnected. Now, is that Arizona? Is that the Cardinals? Or is that Marvin Harrison? Because to me, I would be really worried about trading for him. And that's why the trade market completely cratered for him. The Texans, by all accounts, they were the only team really active in the trade market. It was the Cardinals were trying to drum up some level of negotiating to get the price up for Marvin Harrison, they took Marvin Harrison with the fourth, with with the fourth pick in the draft and they got a second round pick back for him, I mean this is a guy after two years he's not even in the prime of his career yet, I mean Marvin Harrison could turn into something tremendous if he locks in and lives up to the potential, I mean how many Ohio State wide receivers have come into the NFL and dominated, I mean it is wide receiver you and we thought Marvin Harrison was going to be the best of them all until Jeremiah Smith comes into the league, but this guy was supposed to be the combination of size, speed, skill, hands, everything he had it all, franchise number one wide receiver, Justin Jefferson type, right and he stopped playing, that's a huge red flag that's a huge concern for me, for the league, for anybody else to go just because he played with CJ Stroud in college, they're gonna be able to run it back, how long does that go for a week, two weeks a month, because that's gonna wear off, your character is going to show, you're gonna have to show the NFL, the Texans, everybody else that you actually are there, that you're mentally there that you want to play football, Mike's saying Arizona was smart, been a cash cow taking his under receptions and yards, it's been smart, now does that turn around, I don't know, but like JSN, yes Vinnie, absolutely amazing wide out, amazing player from Ohio State, if he is rejuvenated like Rick Cohen says okay let's see what happens but i don't know if you are a Texans fan trade the picks i'm i'm in okay give me a guy give me a guy like Marvin Harrison Jr give me i would trade a second round pick in two seconds okay for the Texans it's very low risk in my opinion for a player that might be something that turns into an epic steal or this could be an absolute bust
