Fanatics is suing Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
Arizona Cardinals star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was not in attendance for the NFL’s rookie premiere this weekend.
According to sources, the Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver didn’t accept an invitation to attend the 2024 NFLPA Rookie Premiere in Los Angeles this weekend.
This is not the only cool thing going on with the rookie wide out. His jersey can’t be purchased by fans because of no licensing deal with the NFLPA. Once that gets squared away, Cardinals fans will be allowed to buy his jersey and rock it at games during the season, but Harrison Jr. has a bigger fish to fry.
Fanatics is suing Harrison in New York Supreme Court for breach of contract. The company, a leading brand in sports apparel, trading cards and other products alleges it signed a deal with Harrison last May in excess of $1 million.
In the lawsuit filed Saturday night, Fanatics alleges Harrison has not lived up to the terms of that agreement.
According to ESPN, Harrison’s representatives say no such contract exists. The Arizona Cardinals drafted Harrison fourth overall in last month’s NFL Draft after a two-time unanimous All-America career at Ohio State.
There has been a lot of drama around Harrison Jr. already. Harrison reportedly does not have an agent and is represented by his father, NFL Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison Sr.
