Fanatics Files Lawsuit Against Rookie WR Marvin Harrison, Jr. 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon May 20, 2024 12:46 pm

Fanatics has filed a lawsuit against Arizona Cardinals rookie Marvin Harrison, Jr. in New York Supreme Court for breaching a contract the wide receiver signed with the retailer in May 2023.

In the suit, Fanatics said Harrison has refused to fulfill his obligations to the deal while he also \"publicly asserted\" that the contract does not exist.

Details of what Harrison\'s contract with Fanatics required from the No. 4 pick were redacted, as were the details of the financial agreement between the two.

However, a source told ESPN earlier this month that the deal was for at least $1 million and that the contract was for autographs, signed trading cards, game-worn apparel and other marketing opportunities.

The suit also sites \"The Official Harrison Collection LLC\" as a defendant. Harrison is selling signed memorabilia through The Official Harrison Collection\'s website.

According to the suit, Fanatics and Harrison\'s relationship began in 2023, when Harrison, then at Ohio State, was one of \"several top-tier student athletes, including many NFL prospects,\" whom Fanatics signed to a multiyear licensing agreement.

You know the details of the contract? The story doesn't make it clear what the truth is, just what Fanatics alleges. And based on their history I'd never give them benefit of the doubt
