Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is reportedly being sued.
The rookie from Ohio State was drafted as the No. 4 overall pick in April, and fans can’t wait to see how his game translates to the NFL. But he’s already being made to deal with a lawsuit before even taking to the field.
Online retailer Fanatics is understood to have filed a breach-of-contract suit against the young wideout. According to Adam Schefter, the company claims the player agreed to and signed a contract last spring, which remains unfulfilled.
Harrison and his representatives insist no such agreement is in place.
“Fanatics filed a lawsuit today in NY Supreme Court against rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. for breach of contract,” Schefter reported on Saturday evening. “Harrison’s team says it has no contract while the lawsuit states the two sides have a signed an autograph agreement dating back to last May worth more than $1 million.”
Fanatics Is Claiming Marvin Harrison Jr. Had A Trading Card Deal With Them
Darren Rovell of cllct.com notes that, per the agreement, Marvin Harrison Jr. would be “giving Fanatics trading-card autographs until 2026 in exchange for more than $1 million, with bonuses for awards, including Rookie of the Year, MVP, winning a Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP.”
Harrison’s father, Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, and his attorney informed the company that there was no deal shortly before the NFL Draft.
The dispute has led to the rookie refusing to sign the NFLPA’s licensing agreement, which means Fanatics cannot produce his jerseys and sell them to fans.
