Arizona Cardinals fans will have to wait a bit longer to purchase a Marvin Harrison Jr. jersey.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, "Fanatics filed a lawsuit today in NY Supreme Court against rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. for breach of contract. 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."
Harrison was drafted by the Cardinals with the No. 4 overall pick. However, he has not yet signed his NFLPA group licensing agreement (GLA).
Without this, his jersey along with other memorabilia with his name cannot be sold.
ESPN's Josh Weinfuss reported a week ago that Harrison "is trying to use not signing the GLA as leverage to renegotiate his Fanatics deal for more money."
"Harrison has three known deals: A shoe and apparel deal with New Balance, an endorsement deal with Head and Shoulders and a memorabilia deal with Fanatics, which a source told ESPN Harrison signed before his final year at Ohio State and is worth at least $1 million," Weinfuss wrote.
"Harrison is also selling memorabilia on his website, The Official Harrison Collection. A Harrison Ohio State jersey costs $80, but no Cardinals merchandise is being sold on the site."
Most players sign the GLA at the NFL combine, as it helps players earn additional income.
So now the wait is on to see if Harrison decides to sign the GLA or not.
