According to Adam Schefter, the Cardinals so far have not been all that interested in trading WR Marvin Harrison Jr. despite his slow start to the season.
However, Schefter adds other teams are looking into the idea. He concludes that it would not be all that surprising to see Harrison traded before the midseason deadline.
The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones has also heard the Cardinals don’t yet seem all that interested in exploring his trade market despite Harrison’s struggles so far this year.
“When you get injured, stop seeing the ball, have drops and not in the most stable quarterback position to help get that page turned, it can weigh on young guys,” one AFC executive told Jones. “Quite honestly it may be where he needs a change of scenery to be the best version of himself. But if you’re Arizona, you want to keep as many assets as you can.”
Jones notes more teams would be interested than not if Arizona changes course, but obviously the team won’t get near the value of the pick they spent on Harrison.
“Forget where he was drafted,” another AFC exec said, “watch him play. He’s like a third receiver with upside. He’s not fast, not physical and doesn’t do anything after the catch.”
Harrison has quickly emerged as one of the most intriguing potential trade candidates ahead of the in-season deadline, which is on November 10.
We took a look at some potential landing spots for Harrison if the Cardinals elect to move on.
