Marvin Harrison Jr. is drawing deadline attention—but the key question is still whether Arizona would actually listen. Rival-team curiosity is not the same thing as the Cardinals shopping their former No. 4 pick, and no offer or active negotiation has been reported.
The buzz has a football basis. Through three games, Harrison has four catches for 73 yards on nine targets, while Arizona’s passing game has leaned more heavily on Trey McBride and Michael Wilson. That quiet start has made his role, and his fit in the offense, a subject of league-wide speculation.
ESPN reporting relayed this week says executives around the league are wondering whether Arizona might consider a move before the Nov. 10 deadline. A follow-up report says the Cardinals have given no indication they are eager to trade him. That distinction matters: outside teams can monitor a situation without the player being available.
The possible price adds another wrinkle. One reported league evaluation put Harrison’s market around a quality Day 3 pick—not a formal offer, and not proof Arizona would accept that return for a 2024 first-rounder. For a buyer, that could look like a chance to bet on a change of scenery. For the Cardinals, selling low after three NFL seasons would be a significant call.
So this is a watch list, not a deal track. If Harrison’s targets stay scarce and Arizona’s season gives the new staff reason to reconsider its roster, calls could grow more serious. Until there’s reporting that the Cardinals are taking them, though, the trade-market talk belongs in the “possible” column—not the “pending” one.
