The 2026 NFL trade deadline (November 10) is still a few weeks away, but as teams start to get a feel for where they are at this season, deal rumors are heating up. For example, the Arizona Cardinals are looking for a team to make a Marvin Harrison Jr. trade with, and now rumors are that the wide receiver's Hall of Fame dad's old team, the Unduanapolis Colts, may be interested.
“Another team to watch at receiver is the Colts, who are 2-2 with Pittsburgh and Tennessee coming up. They could easily be sitting at 4-2 after those two games despite a depleted receiving crew, and Indy is not hiding from being all-in to win now,” ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. “Perhaps there's not a splash move that fits, but how about one that brings an upside receiver for a quality Day 3 pick? (The Sauce Gardner trade last year drained Indy's capital.) Marvin Harrison Jr. would be an obvious fit — and not just for sentimentality — but Arizona won't just give him away. A midseason return from Alec Pierce could assuage the need to make a move.”
While Harrison Jr. to the Colts makes sense from a football perspective and would be fun to see for the nostalgia, there are several other teams rumored to be interested in the former Ohio State star as well. The Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, Buffalo Bills, New York Giants, and Houston Texans have all been connected to Harrison at some point in the last week or two.
