Overview
- ESPN reported Wednesday that executives around the NFL are openly wondering whether the Arizona Cardinals could explore trading Marvin Harrison Jr. ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
- Through two games Harrison has four targets and one 33-yard catch, and multiple outlets noted viral video clips criticizing his effort that have amplified questions about his role.
- Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur and quarterback Jacoby Brissett have publicly defended Harrison’s work and effort, saying teammates remain confident and that the situation is a product of scheme and game flow.
- Arizona recently gave Michael Wilson a multi-year, $75 million extension and Harrison will be extension-eligible after this season, a contract backdrop that sources say factors into the team’s willingness to keep or move him.
- League coverage and analysts have suggested several potential landing spots and possible return values, but interest is uneven and teams such as the Texans have downplayed their chances of making a move right now.
