Credit: USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect (Reuters)The Arizona Cardinals have been on the struggle bus for some time, and it doesn’t seem like they’ll get off it anytime soon after this trade. They gave up on their first-round pick and got a second-round pick. The Cardinals acquired an additional sixth-rounder, but it’s just a sad state of affairs in Arizona right now.Maybe they’re hoping that they’ll tank and get a franchise QB in the next draft. It didn’t work when they had Kyler Murray, and you’ll need weapons to surround your quarterback. Throwing in the towel on a 24-year-old first-round pick doesn’t make much sense.

They’re buying low on a prospect and didn’t have to give up much. Harrison Jr. has only produced one touchdown and five catches for 85 yards through the first four games, but maybe a change of scenery is needed. He’ll be paired with C.J. Stroud and could also make a great duo with Nico Collins. The Texans got their first win of the season in Week 5, and this trade will provide a major spark for this squad.
