Should the Raiders trade for Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr.?

Should the Las Vegas Raiders trade for Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr.?

· 271 words

The Las Vegas Raiders are off to a dreamy 3-0 start . Everything is currently firing on all cylinders. Veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins is managing the offense while rookie No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza sits and learns behind the scenes.

One of the Raiders' priorities will be to acquire a true No. 1 receiver for Mendoza. With the Raiders at 3-0, could GM John Spytek consider making a deal near the trade deadline?

The young Raiders will be careful with giving up future picks, as they are still a rebuilding squad despite the 3-0 start. One opportunity that could be worth exploring resides in the NFC. Are the Arizona Cardinals willing to trade underperforming wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.?

Billed as an elite prospect coming out of Ohio State, Harrison has come nowhere near meeting the predraft hype. The fourth overall selection in 2024 seriously regressed last season as a sophomore compared to his rookie year. This season, he's registered four receptions and zero touchdowns in three appearances.

The Raiders recently lost Jack Bech for an undetermined amount of time due to a serious forearm injury. Bech has been placed on IR . His injury makes a thin Raiders depth chart at receiver even thinner.

With a decision needed this coming offseason on his fifth-year option, the rebuilding Cardinals could be looking to trade Harrison. Trade activity is starting to pick up around the league, with the Pittsburgh Steelers sending cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday evening. The Raiders should at least explore what it'd take to acquire Harrison and give him a much-needed fresh start.
