It's bad enough that Marvin Harrison Jr. has struggled this season, but the Arizona Cardinals aren't really getting much of anything from their other wideouts.
Harrison Jr. leads the Cardinals with 306 receiving yards, but no other wideout has more than 59 on the entire team. Michael Wilson, the team's 2023 third-round pick, is also having yet another disappointing season.
Knowing all that, it wouldn't be a total surprise to see the Cardinals explore options via trade, and Bleacher Report's Alex Kay is urging Arizona to make what he calls a "shocking" trade with the Las Vegas Raiders for Jakobi Meyers.
Kay's proposal would see the Raiders receive a 2026 third-round draft choice from the Cardinals. Here's Kay's thoughts:
Arizona has to find another viable wideout to complement Harrison, a role Meyers would excel in. While he's been working as a WR1 for the Raiders, he's a more natural WR2 and would thrive in that role for the Cardinals.
With Arizona running out of time to get back on track, the club should be willing to kick over a Day 2 pick to land Meyers.
Meyers is most definitely a logical trade candidate.
The veteran wideout became disgruntled ahead of the start of the season over his desire for a contract extension as he entered the final year of his current deal.
The Raiders didn't end up getting that done, which left Meyers frustrated and sets the stage for him to walk in free agency in 2026.
The addition of Geno Smith has proven worthless thus far and the Raiders are going nowhere fast at 1-4. If general manager John Spytek is smart, he'll get something for Meyers to help Las Vegas build for the future.
Upon arriving in Arizona, Meyers would immediately be the most accomplished wide receiver on the team and would serve as an elite No. 2 option for Kyler Murray, who needs more help outside of Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride.
Meyers has posted 800 yards or more four times and is coming off a campaign in which he broke the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career. Bear in mind, Meyers has had a lackluster list of quarterbacks throwing him the football during his career, so those yards haven't come easy.
If the Cardinals get to the trade deadline and their playoff hopes are alive, adding another weapon like Meyers makes sense.
