Smizzy Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Arrington's agent suspended for two yearsESPN.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. Ouch. Guess that will teach him to get his **** together.

mbn007 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Too bad this didn't happen before Kareem became a FA. Maybe then the Jets could have worked something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
