The Philadelphia Eagles have a pivotal decision to make before the start of the 2026-27 NFL season.
With star wide receiver A.J. Brown’s future in Philadelphia being fuzzy, the Eagles must make their stance clear on trading the three-time Pro Bowler.
If Philadelphia elects to move on from Brown later this offseason, SportsRadio 94 WIP’s Eliot Shorr-Parks believes that the two-time Super Bowl champions could strike a deal with either the Arizona Cardinals or Jacksonville Jaguars to replace him.
"You look around the league at what young receivers are set to be paid, and their team might not want to pay them,” Shorr-Parks stated Tuesday. “Well, the two names that come to mind for me are Brian Thomas Jr. from Jacksonville, who's already had some trade rumors, and Marvin Harrison Jr. from Arizona.”
“Now, I get the Cardinals from the outside looking in, it's 'Why would they trade him?" Well, they're starting a rebuild, they don't have a quarterback, they have another receiver there that's kind of shown out of nowhere that he could be very good.”
“And you got to decide if you're the Cardinals, are you paying Marvin Harrison Jr.? So, I would keep an eye on him."
Out of the two trade options that Shorr-Parks floated, Harrison is the most realistic. The Jaguars seem to value Thomas, a 2024 Pro Bowler, highly after two encouraging seasons in Jacksonville and are unlikely to move on from him anytime soon.
As talented as Harrison is, his tendency to take plays off/ run lackluster routes, and drop pinpoint passes has plagued him in the big leagues thus far. Still, when focused, the Ohio State product can be dynamic thanks to his ability to come down with jump balls and make defenders miss after the catch.
Harrison finished the 2025-26 season with 41 receptions for 608 receiving yards and four touchdowns. If the 23-year-old becomes available on the trade market, he may be worth a look for the Eagles at the very least.
