NFL Trade Rumor: Kansas City Chiefs could eye $29M Arizona Cardinals wide receiver amid lack of depth pieces behind Rashee Rice

The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly open to trading wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, executives around the league are wondering whether Arizona might explore trading the young receiver ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET.Harrison, who was selected as the No. 4 overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has caught only one pass so far this season. Following these rumors, Yahoo Sports Daily hosts Caroline Fenton and Coley Harvey discussed whether the Kansas City Chiefs might attempt to acquire the former 2024 first-round pick.Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr linked to Chiefs amid Rashee Rice depth piece lackYahoo Sports Daily host Coley Harvey suggests that the Kansas City Chiefs would be an ideal destination for Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. Harvey argues that Harrison needs to play for a contender, pointing out that he was used to playing for a winning program in college but has not yet shown his true potential since entering the NFL.“He’s just been in such a bad situation since he’s been in the NFL,” Harvey said. “Obviously, his numbers…his production has kind of gone down in the last year or so, and even coming into this week’s game, his production is down already so far this season. I think that this is a case of a guy who needs to be with a contender.He came out of Ohio State, was so used to winning, was so used to being in the college football playoff and in these big primetime moments. I think that he’s missing some of that edge, some of that added competition to get his competitive juices going.So get him with a team like the [Kansas] City Chiefs, where he’s got a chance to contend not just for the playoffs, but possibly a title, and I think you’re gonna see an added level to Marvin Harrison’s play.Also, you’re gonna see an added level to what the Chiefs can already do, which is already otherworldly things, as an offense. Don’t think it’s gonna happen. I think this is pretty far-fetched, but sign me up for it. I’m here for a deal.”“If I’m the Chiefs, I’m sprinting to make that deal,” Yahoo Sports Daily host Caroline Fenton said. Fenton noted that adding a playmaker like Marvin Harrison Jr. to a Patrick Mahomes-led offense would virtually guarantee a Super Bowl run.She described Harrison as a stretch-the-field wide receiver who can catch anything thrown his way, suggesting he could return to his elite “Maserati Marv” form with the right coaching staff. Bottom line: Harrison appears to need a change of scenery, as things simply aren’t working out for him in Arizona.Kansas City lacks depth behind Rashee RiceThe Kansas City Chiefs recently parted ways with wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Hollywood Brown, as well as running back Kareem Hunt, putting immense pressure on Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton.Worthy is still finding his rhythm after a shoulder injury disrupted his 2025 performance, leaving Rice as the team’s only dependable weapon. However, if Rice gets injured, a massive vacancy opens up with no clear backup to fill his big shoes.Surprisingly, the Chiefs chose not to make any major wide receiver moves this offseason. They didn’t even pursue Tyreek Hill after his release from the Miami Dolphins this past February. Are they merely waiting until November when he is fully healthy and the big games begin?Hill remains a free agent and recently spoke highly of Patrick Mahomes on The Pivot Podcast. In the end, the choice entirely lies with the Chiefs: they can either wait for a Tyreek Hill reunion in November or immediately trade for Marvin Harrison Jr.Marvin Harrison Jr trade rumorsCategoryDetailsPlayer NameMarvin Harrison JrCurrent FranchiseArizona CardinalsProposed DestinationsKansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets, Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, Los Angeles Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis ColtsContract Status2026 is the third year of his 2024 contractContract ValueHe signed a four-year, $35.37 million contract, including a $22.54 million signing bonus and $35.37 million in guaranteed money, with an average annual income of $8.84 millionCap Hit and Dead Cap ValueIn 2026, he is scheduled to earn a $1.075 million base salary, a $2.93 million roster bonus, and a $10,880 workout bonus while carrying a $9.65 million cap hit and a $23.85 million dead cap valueYears Left On The ContractUFA [unrestricted free agent] in 2029, two years left.Career Earnings$29 million over 3 NFL seasons with the Arizona Cardinals.Stay updated with the latest Asian Games 2026 news, check the Asian Games medal tally and complete Asian Games schedule.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates.
