Cardinals trade Marvin Harrison Jr. destination unclear

Summarised from 3 outlets · 4 reports · Updated 10 Oct, 16:24 · Archive

The Arizona Cardinals have agreed to trade wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., though his new team has not yet been revealed. The Daily Mail Sport reports that the Cardinals have informed him he will not play against the Detroit Lions on Sunday because the deal has been finalized.

Harrison Jr., the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has struggled to make an impact in his first two seasons in Arizona. The 24-year-old had a limited role under new head coach Mike LaFleur in the first four games of the season and scored his first touchdown of the season last week in a defeat by the New York Giants.

The New York Post suggests that teams including the San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders could have interest in acquiring him. The 49ers' receiving room has been hit by injuries, while the Raiders have tight end Brock Bowers but could use additional receiving options. Trading Harrison Jr. while he retains some value was seen as advantageous for the Cardinals.
