5 best trade landing spots for Marvin Harrison Jr.

Things are not working out between Marvin Harrison Jr. and the Arizona Cardinals, to say the least.

Harrison Jr., the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has just one catch (for 33 yards) through two games this season.

Visit somethingsdifferent.biz for more information.

He had a solid rookie season in 2024 (62 catches, 885 yards, 8 touchdowns), but it’s been all downhill from there. He had 41 catches in 12 games in 2025, and now he’s almost been entirely erased from Arizona’s offense in 2026.

Harrison Jr. is, at best, the No. 4 option on the Cardinals offense behind tight end Trey McBride, wide receiver Michael Wilson and running back Jeremiyah Love.

Given MHJ’s lack of production, the Cardinals may consider trading the third-year wide receiver at some point this season, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano.

“Execs around the league are wondering whether the Arizona Cardinals could explore trading 2024 No. 4 pick Marvin Harrison Jr. ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline,” Graziano reported. “Harrison was held without a catch in Week 2. The team signed fellow wide receiver Michael Wilson Jr. to a contract extension this offseason. They have a new coaching staff and a new offense. Harrison is extension-eligible after this season, and as of now, the Cardinals would have a hard time paying him based on what he’s shown in the league so far. It’s worth watching out for a potential change-of-scenery deal in this case.”

So which teams might be interested in buying low on the former No. 4 overall pick? These are five of the best trade landing spots for a potential Marvin Harrison Jr. trade:

Houston Texans

Harrison reunites with his old college quarterback C.J. Stroud. The duo played two seasons together at Ohio State from 2021-22. Harrison Jr. caught 17 touchdown passes from Stroud in those two seasons.

The Texans are also in need of wide receiver depth. Nico Collins has a hamstring injury and Jayden Higgins is out for the season due to a torn ACL. Houston traded for Kayshon Boutte from the Patriots in August, but the Texans might need to make another move for Harrison Jr.

Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders’ wide receiver depth chart is led by Tre Tucker, who has 130 career receptions in four NFL seasons, and Jalen Nailor, who has 73 career receptions in five seasons.

Also, the Raiders are coached by Klint Kubiak, who previously served as offensive coordinator for the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Kubiak coached Jaxon Smith-Njigba to win Offensive Player of the Year honors, so you could envision being able to coax more production out of MHJ.

While Kirk Cousins is currently the starting QB, the Raiders also have rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Maybe Mendoza, age 22, and Harrison Jr., 24, could find some chemistry in the years to come.

Los Angeles Chargers

The 0-2 Chargers could use a jolt (I’ll see myself out), specifically at wide receiver.

Ladd McConkey is a legitimate playmaker, but beyond that, the Chargers’ WR depth runs thin. Quentin Johnston is solid but not great. Tre’ Harris is a second-year player who has shown some upside. Marvin Harrison Jr. is more than capable of earning playing time amongst this group.

Chargers OC Mike McDaniel orchestrated some prolific offenses as head coach of the Miami Dolphins. Quarterback Justin Herbert remains promising, albeit disappointing. Maybe Harrison Jr. needs a change of scenery with the Chargers as much as Herbert and the Chargers need a jol -- nevermind.

Kansas City Chiefs

Nowwwwww we’re talking. It’s fun to daydream about Marvin Harrison Jr. reinvigorating his career catching passes from Patrick Mahomes.

But maybe that’s all it is, dreaming.

The Chiefs’ WR depth chart is led by Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton. But given Rice’s off-field issues, Worthy’s inconsistency and Thornton’s 62 career receptions, adding MHJ for depth makes sense.

It also would help MHJ to be coached by Andy Reid, one of the most accomplished and innovative coaches in NFL history.

Los Angeles Rams

This is admittedly unlikely simply because the Cardinals and Rams are in the same NFC West division.

Besides that, a trade makes sense. Puka Nacua is battling injuries, Davante Adams is 33 years old (and thriving!) and the Rams are in need of a third wide receiver option. Also, Rams head coach Sean McVay is an offensive mastermind who has proven to get more out of his players.

But again, it’s an in-division trade that doesn’t make much sense for Arizona unless LA is willing to overpay – and why would they for an underperforming player?

From MHJ’s perspective, though, lining up alongside Nacua and Adams with future Hall of Famer Matt Stafford throwing passes is about as good as it could get.
