Summary
League executives are watching whether Arizona explores trading Marvin Harrison Jr., with the 2024 No. 4 pick off to a one-catch, 33-yard start through two games.
Extension eligibility after the 2026 season is fueling the speculation, as ESPN reported the Cardinals would struggle to justify a big payday based on Harrison's production so far.
Mike LaFleur defended Harrison after a 31-7 loss to Seattle, saying effort was not the issue and pointing instead to limited chances in an offense leaning on Trey McBride.
McBride already has 17 catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns, while Michael Wilson Jr. just signed a three-year, $75 million extension, giving Arizona other long-term pass-catching options.
Any real move likely hinges on whether Harrison's role grows before the Nov. 10 deadline and whether the 1-1 Cardinals stay competitive, starting Sunday at the 2-0 49ers.
