The Arizona Cardinals are evaluating trade possibilities for wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. as NFL teams investigate a potential deal before the Nov.
10 deadline.
The former No. 4 overall pick has struggled to match expectations in 2026, creating uncertainty around his future in Arizona.
Harrison recorded five receptions for 85 yards and one touchdown on 13 targets through four games this season, according to dispatch.

He had 885 yards and eight touchdowns as a rookie in 2024 before his production declined to 608 yards and four touchdowns in his second season.
The Cardinals selected Harrison fourth overall in the 2024 NFL Draft and he is in the third year of a four-year, $35 million contract.
According to CBS Sports, teams have contacted Arizona about his availability, while the Cardinals are not obligated to accept offers that do not meet their valuation.
ESPN insider Adam Schefter said teams are monitoring Harrison's situation while Arizona weighs its options.
"The Cardinals are not all that enthralled with trading him, but other teams are doing their due diligence into Harrison.
It would not be a surprise if he were traded by Nov. 10," said Adam Schefter, ESPN insider.
The Las Vegas Raiders have emerged as one possible destination because their wide receiver group has been affected by injuries.
Sports Illustrated reported that Albert Breer believes a conditional draft pick could be a realistic framework for a potential deal.
"If there's a guy that you can get that's on a rookie contract, where you say, 'OK, this guy can be here for the next five years' … how about Marvin Harrison Jr.?
If I'm the Raiders, that's somebody I make a phone call on because I think that things have gotten so tangled up and messed up in Arizona for Marvin that both sides could use a reset," said Albert Breer, Sports Illustrated reporter.
Breer also discussed the possible value Arizona could receive if it moved the young receiver.
The Raiders have been described as a team that could seek offensive upgrades while maintaining a focus on long-term roster building.
"I think the Cardinals would be open to it.
Do you swing a conditional four that can become a three or a two in a couple of years if he produces at a really high level?
Would that be enough? I don't know," said Albert Breer, Sports Illustrated reporter.
Other teams mentioned as possible fits include the Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Chargers and Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts connection includes Harrison's father, Marvin Harrison Sr., who spent his entire 13-year career in Indianapolis.
Harrison entered the NFL after a standout Ohio State career and won the Fred Biletnikoff Award in 2023.
NFL analyst Lance Zierlein previously described the receiver's prospect profile as one built on route ability and contested-catch skills.
"Harrison comes from impressive NFL bloodlines and possesses similarities that made his father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, special.
Harrison can run but isn’t a burner.
What makes him tough to handle is his consistent play speed paired with quality salesmanship in his routes.
He’s able to uncover no matter where he’s aligned or which part of the field his assignment takes him to, and he is capable of finishing catches in a crowd," wrote Lance Zierlein, NFL.
