Browns Position on Marvin Harrison Jr. Trade Made Clear

That created some interest around Harrison, no doubt. And more interest was drummed up when ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Saturday that someone was, indeed, trading for Harrison, and that he’d been informed he would be inactive this week. But Schefter did not say which team was getting the former No. 4 overall pick.

On 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland, Browns reporter Nick Pedone quickly shut down talk of Harrison heading to Cleveland.

“I hate to throw cold water all over this, guys,” Pedone said, “it’s not the Browns. I just got a text, it’s not the Browns. .. I’m sorry, I hate to ruin the fun for us but I did get that text, it came through as we were talking.”

Harrison, in his third season, has been a major disappointment, and has just five catches for 85 yards. Pedone speculated that Harrison could go to the Colts, though consensus seems to eb that he will go to the Texans.
