What happened: League executives are reportedly wondering if the Arizona Cardinals might explore trading Marvin Harrison Jr. following a slow start to the 2026 season. The former No. 4 overall pick has seen minimal usage in the offense amid questions about his reliability. Potential trade scenarios link the receiver to the Indianapolis Colts, New York Giants, and Minnesota Vikings.

Why it matters: A deal would represent a rapid departure for a player widely considered a cornerstone prospect. Suitors like the Colts are dealing with injuries to Alec Pierce and Keenan Allen, while the Giants face health issues with Malik Nabers. The Cardinals must weigh whether to recoup assets now or attempt to restore his production.

By the numbers: Harrison has recorded just one catch for 33 yards on four targets through the first two games of the season. He was held without a reception during the team's Week 2 loss.

What to watch: Arizona's deployment of the receiver over the next month will dictate whether these rumors materialize into formal trade discussions before the November deadline.
