    Why you still can't buy Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr.'s jersey

    Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

    The Arizona Cardinals play their first preseason game Saturday night, and fans are excited to see their first-round receiver, Marvin Harrison Jr., play his first snaps .

    But you won't see any of his jerseys in the crowd at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona — not any official ones, at least.

    The No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, expected to be one of the league's most popular rookies, still has not signed an NFL Players Association group licensing agreement with Fanatics — the official merchandising partner of the NFL.

    This means fans can't purchase Harrison's jersey or any NFL merchandise bearing his name, image or likeness until he signs an official agreement with the company.

    Harrison is reportedly trying to negotiate a better deal than the one he received at Ohio State.

    NFL Network's Ian Rapoport revealed on Aug. 3 that the NFLPA advised the league, the team and Fanatics nothing has changed in Harrison's camp regarding an agreement.

    However, Harrison is currently embroiled in litigation with Fanatics , which alleges in a May New York suit that he breached the terms of an agreement with the company and leaked "confidential" information to ESPN.

    Harrison's lawyers countered in court documents that no agreement was in place.

    Fanatics also allege clips posted in May by "The Pat McAfee Show" on X, detailing the situation according to sources within Harrison's camp, are "misleading."

    According to the suit, Harrison signed a "binding term sheet," stating that the two parties agreed to something but not the formal contract.

    There is a legal precedent of courts enforcing term sheets like contracts, but it's yet to be seen how this situation will play out.

    Until a resolution is had, fans must watch the 21-year-old sensation ball out before they can rep him themselves.
