Jacoby Brissett is talking up Marvin Harrison Jr. like he can sense the trade rumors

The Arizona Cardinals are currently sitting at a 1-2 record after a season-opening 26-14 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Their Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and Week 3 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers have raised questions about their overall performance in the league. Despite this, one of the most intriguing topics surrounding the Cardinals revolves around Marvin Harrison Jr. and his contract situation.

Harrison Jr., although only in his third NFL season, will face a crucial decision on his fifth-year option for 2028, thus sparking rumors of a potential trade. While Harrison Jr. had a strong rookie season with 62 catches for 885 yards and eight touchdowns, his production has been inconsistent in subsequent years, with only 41 catches, 608 yards, and four touchdowns in his second season.

After a disappointing start to the 2026 season, Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett recently expressed his desire to find more ways to get Harrison Jr. involved on the field. Brissett recently stated, "I think obviously trying to find more ways to get him the ball, I thought he played pretty well last game. Every time his number was called, he made the play, and that was a big third down for us, and I threw it with the utmost confidence."

However, Harrison Jr.'s limited involvement thus far, with just four catches on nine targets for 73 yards in their last three games, highlights the need for the Cardinals to address his contract situation soon. With the potential trade of Marvin Harrison Jr. in the works, especially after the team signed Michael Wilson to a lucrative three-year extension, it remains to be seen how the franchise will handle this critical decision.
