A mystery team is planning to acquire Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in a trade. However, according to Mike Chappell of FOX59, it won't be theIndianapolis Colts who are trading for him.
Chappell says that, like many teams, the Colts did do their due diligence, but "that's all." The asking price, which Tom Pelissero reported as being a second-round pick and then some, was probably "too steep," Chappell added.
"In my opinion, bringing Marv Jr to Indy would have brought unrealistic expectations, pressure," Chappell posted on X, referencing his dad's career with the Colts.
Per source, Marv Jr isn’t heading to Indy. like just about every team, Colts did due diligence but that’s all. Prob decided price too steep. imo bringing Marv Jr to Indy would
have brought unrealistic expectations, pressure. https://t.co/q3T44RBs2R

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Cardinals are "finalizing a deal" to trade Harrison, and the team informed the former fourth overall pick that he will be inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Detroit Lions, with the details of the trade still needing to be finalized.
That said, we still don't know which team the Cardinals are in talks with.
Schefter then added that the Cardinals are comfortable enough to know that they will be trading Harrison, but nothing will be finalized until after the Week 5 games are played.
The one certainty is that Marvin Harrison’s time in Arizona is done. Arizona feels comfortable enough to know it can and will trade Harrison, which is why he will be inactive Sunday. But no Harrison trade will be completed until after Sunday’s games are played. https://t.co/qEGc9qtht0

While nothing is finalized, a potential landing spot for Harrison could be the Houston Texans, according to Schefter.
