ESPN.com: NFL Wednesday, March 15, 2006 Arrington's agent suspended for two years -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ESPN.com news services Carl Poston, the agent for ex-Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington, was suspended for two years Wednesday by the NFL Players Association's Committee on Agent Regulation & Discipline, the SportsBusiness Journal reported. The suspension stems from violations over Arrington's contract negotiations at the end of the 2003 season. Arrington claims the Redskins orally agreed to a $6.5 million bonus, a bonus that was subsequently left out of the former Penn State star's contract. Poston will be able to appeal the suspension. In August, Arrington and the team cam to a settlement over the bonus, but terms favored the Redskins, who agreed only to a deal that would make Arrington a free agent or net him a $3.25 million bonus if he made the Pro Bowl in two of the next four seasons. He did not make the Pro Bowl this season. In January, the NFLPA filed a formal complaint seeking disciplinary action against Poston for "neglect." Poston's suspension was announced at the players' union's annual meeting in Maui.
Good, hopefully Arrington can try to negotiate for himself and the Giants can get a great deal [/wishfulthinking]
The guy should be suspended for just being STOOOPID enough to admit he never read the final contract, but still arrogant enough to think it didn't matter.
