A potential wide receiver trade target may be emerging just three weeks into the 2026 NFL season, and the Pittsburgh Steelers would be wise to pay close attention, especially because it pertains to a certain former Ohio State superstar.
According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, NFL executives are beginning to wonder if the Arizona Cardinals will "explore" a potential Marvin Harrison Jr. trade ahead of the NFL trade deadline on November 10. If the Steelers' wide receiver woes are still plaguing the offense by then, Harrison would be an interesting trade target to keep an eye on.

Harrison, who was drafted by Arizona with the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, had a solid rookie season, recording 885 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. The 2025 season was a slightly different story, as Harrison dealt with a few key injuries and mustered just 608 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
The 2026 season, however, has somehow started off even worse, as Harrison has caught just one pass for 33 yards over the past two games. The Cardinals also handed out a hefty extension to wide receiver Michael Wilson, further ramping up Harrison trade rumors.
While Harrison has dealt with a fair share of criticism, particularly when it comes to recent drops and effort concerns, he would be an excellent addition to the Steelers' offense, which is struggling to get production out of its playmakers.
