Cardinals Expected to Trade Wide Receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
Sources say the Arizona Cardinals have informed Marvin Harrison Jr. that he will be traded, with the team likely finalizing a deal after the upcoming game.
Arizona sources indicate that the Cardinals have told wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. he will be traded. The team is reportedly waiting to see if a potential injury to a receiver on another club, such as the Buffalo Bills or Los Angeles Rams, could increase trade interest. The Cardinals are expected to make a decision after the Week 5 game against the Detroit Lions, possibly as early as Tuesday morning. If a trade is not completed promptly, the team would have to keep Harrison on the roster until the trade deadline, as reversing the decision appears unlikely.
"We’re told the Cardinals have opted to wait in order to squeeze a little more out of the Texans, or in the hopes some other team will develop an urgency to make a deal," a source familiar with the situation said. The decision comes amid speculation about the team's broader roster strategy and the potential reaction from Harrison and his family.
