He does not yet have a licensing agreement from the NFLPA. Perhaps not coincidentally, Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. did not accept an invitation to participate in the 2024 NFLPA rookie opener in Los Angeles.
He was in fact on the guest list. He wasn’t in official list of expected participants.
The list had a warning: “Subject to change.” We’re told the only change was Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy’s decision not to attend due to a “personal matter.” (Worthy recently had his car stolen in Kansas City, which may or may not have been the personal matter that kept him from going.)
Harrison’s jersey is not available for purchase due to the lack of a licensing agreement with the union. He reportedly has a deal with Fanatics, which sells the shirts online. Apparently, his refusal to sign the NFLPA deal arises from a desire to redo the Fanatics deal.
