He still doesn’t have an NFLPA licensing deal. Perhaps not coincidentally, Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. did not accept an invitation to attend the 2024 NFLPA Rookie Premiere in L.A.
He was indeed on the invitation list. He was not on the official list of expected attendees.
The list carried a caveat: “Subject to change.” We’re told that the only change was the decision of Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy to not attend, due to “personal matter.” (Worthy recently had his car stolen in Kansas City, which might or might not have been the personal matter that kept him from going.)
Harrison’s jersey isn’t available to be purchased, due to the lack of a licensing deal with the union. He reportedly has an existing deal with Fanatics, which sells the jerseys online. Apparently, his refusal to sign the NFLPA deal arises from a desire to re-do the Fanatics deal.
