Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Saturday that Arizona informed Marvin Harrison Jr. he would be inactive for the Week 5 game as the team finalizes a trade.
- No destination has been publicly confirmed but several reports say the Houston Texans are 'square in the mix' while the Indianapolis Colts are not expected to be the acquiring team.
- League sources say Arizona has been pushing for meaningful draft compensation, roughly a second-round pick and sometimes higher, and has been fielding multiple offers.
- Harrison’s reduced role this season — five catches for 85 yards and one touchdown through four games — plus Arizona’s investments in Michael Wilson and Trey McBride have driven the decision.
- Expect the deal to be announced after Week 5 with the Nov. 10 trade deadline shaping final terms and the outcome likely to affect Harrison’s chances for a fresh start and Arizona’s draft plans.
