What happened: Nick Caserio addressed the timing of the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade and the C.J. Stroud contract. The move pairs Harrison with Stroud in Houston after their Ohio State careers.

Why it matters: The pairing reunites a quarterback with a first-round receiver drafted 4th overall in 2024. Houston adds Harrison to a group that already includes Nico Collins, who posted 1,117 yards across 15 games in 2025. Stroud completed 273 of 423 passes for 3,041 yards in 14 games in 2025, giving the move direct consequences for the passing game.

What to watch: Watch for Harrison's Houston debut alongside Stroud against Jacksonville on Sunday. Any contract terms disclosed next will set the timeline for the reunion.
