Insider reveals why Colts didn't trade for WR Marvin Harrison Jr.
Why didn't the Indianapolis Colts trade for WR Marvin Harrison Jr.? Here is what one NFL insider had to say.
The Indianapolis Colts were reportedly among the teams to investigate wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. before his trade, but general manager Chris Ballard ultimately decided against pursuing a deal. Despite the team's need for additional wide receiver talent, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler suggests the Arizona Cardinals' asking price was simply too high.
The Houston Texans ultimately sent a 2027 second-round pick, a 2027 sixth-round pick, and a 2027 seventh-round selection for Harrison Jr. Harrison, a former fourth overall pick, has shown inconsistent production throughout his career. Additionally, the Colts were already without their 2027 first-round pick, making the trade less appealing.
Fowler also notes that the Texans did not have a significant competitive advantage over Harrison Jr.
