Breaking: the Arizona Cardinals are finalizing a deal to trade WR Marvin Harrison, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
The team informed Harrison this morning that he will be inactive for Sunday's game vs Detroit as details of the trade are finalized. 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. Based on what I have gathered from league sources compensation on a deal with Marvin Harrison Junior has been agreed to, but no deal will be finalized until Monday - after he has taken a physical. One team that has had Marvin Harrison trade talks with Arizona is Houston, sources tell me and @rapsheet. Houston has been, and is thought to be, square in the mix for Harrison. But as one Texans source said about the team's interest in Harrison, "I can't confirm or deny at this time." Caught up with a few sources on the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade news today. The main takeaways: - A lot of praise and respect for him as a player/person - The writing was on the wall - The timing is more of a surprise - No doubts he's going to produce elsewhere
