# T.J. Houshmandzadeh: Houshmandzadeh argues Marvin Harrison Jr. should ask the Cardinals for a trade and get a fresh start elsewhere, saying Arizona no longer values them, and floats the Raiders, Bills, Colts and Texans as fits — particularly a reunion with C.J. Stroud in Houston. **Claimed:** Oct 2, 2026 **Pundit:** T.J.
