Marvin Harrison Jr. trade is past the point of no return - NBC Sports
The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly moving toward trading wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. following a breakdown in the relationship between the player and the team. The organization is currently waiting for the best possible trade offer.
Why it matters
This reflects the high-stakes nature of professional sports management and the impact of player-team disputes on roster construction.
The story of the weekend continues to be unwritten. But the ending is partially known.
The Cardinals will undoubtedly be trading receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
As one source with knowledge of the dynamics puts it, the situation has moved past the point of no return. He’s not playing today, and he wasn’t present for Saturday night’s meetings before the Week 5 contest against the Lions.
Harrison has been told he’s being traded, we’re told. The Cardinals have opted to wait in order to squeeze a little more out of the Texans, or in the hopes some other team will develop an urgency to make a deal, based on a possible injury.
The question becomes whether the Cardinals will finalize things after today’s game, or whether they’ll wait to see whether a receiver from the Bills or Rams is injured on Monday night.
