The Indianapolis Colts may be 2-2 after beating the Washington Commanders in Week 4, but their wide receiver situation still looks thin enough to force the front office into action.
That’s why the latest chatter around Marvin Harrison Jr. is getting attention. On The Pat McAfee Show, Pat McAfee brought up the possibility of teams calling the Arizona Cardinals about the son of legendary former Colts WR Marvin Harrison, and Adam Schefter’s response only added fuel to the rumor.
“Who's calling on Marvin Harrison Jr.? ... Colts, Colts are calling?
Get him back?” McAfee asked Schefter, who then said in response: "Wouldn't that make a lot of sense?"
McAfee then said, "Okay, that's a yes."
Schefter stopped short of flat-out confirming a deal, but he also didn’t swat the idea away. And that was enough to make it sound like Indianapolis is at least checking in.
The fit is obvious. The Colts already sent their 2027 first-round pick to the Jets for Sauce Gardner, which makes this season feel like one they should try to maximize. At receiver, the depth chart has taken hits: Alec Pierce is on injured reserve with a heel injury, Keenan Allen missed Week 4 while banged up, Josh Downs is more of a No. 2 than a true No. 1, and the rest of the room doesn’t inspire much confidence.
Harrison hasn’t exactly lit it up with the Cardinals, and he’s looked like a bust this season by the standards that come with being a former 2024 first-round pick. Still, he did get his first touchdown of the year in Week 4, and there’s clearly still some talent to work with.
If Indianapolis wants to upgrade the passing game, Harrison would be an intriguing target. Brian Thomas Jr. probably isn’t coming loose from the Jaguars, so Harrison stands as the next-best option if the Colts are serious about swinging a trade.
And from a pure storyline standpoint, it would be hard to top the Colts bringing in the son of one of their most iconic wideouts all these years later. Schefter’s comments suggest Arizona is hearing from teams, and Indianapolis appears to be one of them.

Cardinals Fans Have A Real Reason To Be Furious Over Trey McBride
A sideline exchange during Arizonas game against the Giants has turned into something bigger than the usual postgame gripe, because cameras appeared to catch line judge Jeff Seeman directing profanity at Trey McBride after a third-down non-call.

The league has confirmed it is reviewing the incident, and that alone gives Cardinals fans plenty to be irritated about. McBride has become one of the offenses most important targets, and when a game already features a missed call that leaves both sides steamed, the last thing Arizona needs is an official turning the exchange personal in plain view of everyone watching.

Cardinals Loss To Giants Just Turned Into An NFL Accountability Fight
The Cardinals loss to the Giants has spilled into a much bigger discussion about how the NFL handles accountability, after cameras appeared to catch line judge Jeff Seeman directing profanity at tight end Trey McBride. The exchange came after a third-down non-call and quickly became part of the postgame conversation, not because of the play itself, but because of the officials behavior in the moment. The league confirmed it is reviewing the incident.
Tensions around officiating are nothing new, but the reaction from the NFL Players Association gave the episode more weight, with the union publicly calling the conduct unacceptable and pushing for the same level of accountability for officials that players face. For Arizona, it adds another bitter layer to a loss that already carried plenty of frustration, and it keeps the focus on how the league handles discipline when the cameras are rolling. [Read more 🡒]
Cardinals Fans Have A New Reason To Revisit That Trey McBride Exchange
Trey McBrides name popped back into the conversation this week for a reason Arizona fans probably did not expect. The NFL suspended official Jeff Seeman for two games and referee Adrian Hill for one after finding unprofessional conduct toward players during Week 4 games, adding a little more weight to a sideline moment that already stood out in the Giants-Cardinals matchup.
Seemans discipline traces back to a verbal exchange with McBride, while Hills punishment came from a separate incident in the Dolphins-Vikings game when he declined a players offer to help him up after a collision. For Cardinals fans, it is a reminder that the McBride interaction was not just a passing nuisance on game day - it is now part of a broader league review of how officials handled themselves that week.
