Marvin Harrison Jr. trade packages: What Cardinals could get for former No. 4 overall pick

The Arizona Cardinals may soon explore trade options for Marvin Harrison Jr., the former No. 4 overall pick, as his career trajectory has stalled after a promising rookie season.

Harrison, a product of Ohio State, opened his NFL career with 885 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, but his production has since declined sharply—he’s managed just five catches through the first four games of 2026, on pace for a career-low yardage total. His limited role in the Cardinals’ offense, where he trails tight end Trey McBride and wideout Michael Wilson for targets, has raised questions about his effort and fit under first-year coach Mike LaFleur’s system.

Despite holding a club option through 2028, the Cardinals could face pressure to move Harrison, whose value has reportedly dropped from early first-round status to a mid-round pick, according to league sources. With teams across the NFL desperate for reliable wide receiver help, a bidding war could emerge, especially as injuries create demand for starting-caliber talent.

A fresh start in a new system might be the key to unlocking Harrison’s potential, though his current struggles have left evaluators questioning whether his early promise can be revived.
