TEMPE — The Arizona Cardinals are finalizing a deal to trade wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Saturday, according to Arizona Sports.
Harrison will be inactive for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions while the details are worked out. Schefter reported a trade would not be completed until after Sunday’s games, and Rapoport said Arizona had taken calls on Harrison for several weeks.
Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro reported no deal would be finalized until Monday, after Harrison takes a physical. The Houston Texans are reportedly interested.
Four games into his third season, Harrison has five catches for 85 yards and a touchdown and ranks fifth on the team in targets with 12, behind tight end Trey McBride, receiver Michael Wilson, receiver Kendrick Bourne and running back Jeremiyah Love.
General manager Monti Ossenfort said Friday that Harrison remained part of the team’s plans. “Marv is a big part of what we’re doing,” Ossenfort told Arizona Sports’ Wolf & Luke. “He’s focused 100% on trying to get better.”
Harrison caught eight touchdown passes as a rookie in 2024.
