Fanatics filed a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court on Saturday night against Arizona Cardinals rookie receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., claiming he breached a contract signed in May 2023.
Fanatics, the online retailer of licensed sportswear for many leagues including the NFL, is suing the Arizona Cardinals' first-round pick, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., for breach of contract. The merchandise giant filed a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court on Saturday night, claiming Harrison, the first receiver taken off the draft board in April, refused to fulfill obligations from a contract he signed in May 2023, per ESPN.
While the details of Harrison’s contract were redacted, a source told ESPN earlier this month that his deal was worth 'at least $1 million,' and it was for autographs, signed trading cards, game-worn apparel, and more marketing opportunities. But Fanatics claimed Harrison told them a 'larger competitor' made an offer to him, and competing trading card companies made other offers as well.
Meanwhile, Harrison has still yet to sign a group licensing agreement with the NFL Players Association, which would allow the players’ union to market his name, image and likeness to 85 companies they deal with. It’s why Cardinals fans have not been able to order jerseys for the Buckeyes product yet. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
