The Arizona Cardinals have a new star, but the fans haven’t been able to buy his jersey yet.
Marvin Harrison Jr’s jersey was expected to be a massive hit as soon as the team had it for sale after picking him with the No. 4 selection exactly one week ago.
However, as of Thursday, he has yet to sign an NFLPA licensing agreement, so they still can’t sell his jersey, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The league cannot distribute his jersey until he signs the agreement.

However, a report by Pat McAfee reveals this doesn’t have anything to do with the NFLPA itself, adding that he’s going to be a part of it sooner rather than later.
Apparently, the feud is with Fanatics, as he was given a four-year NIL contract with them when he was a sophomore at Ohio State.
Now, his camp is looking to restructure and increase the value of the said deal, as his value is now higher as an NFL rookie.
Needless to say, this could set a major precedent for young athletes and NIL deals in the future.
Some former players have been overly-critical of Harrison Jr. and the way he’s dealt with his young career thus far, from skipping the NFL Scouting Combine and whatnot, but that’s just the era we’re living in right now, and he’s clearly not desperate for money.
