bengaldee Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 NFLPA SUSPENDS CARL POSTON Liz Mullen of SportsBusiness Journal reports that the NFLPA Committee on Agent Regulation and Discipline has voted to suspend agent Carl Poston for two years. The suspension arises from Poston's negotiation of LaVar Arrington's December 2003 contract extension with the Redskins. After the deal was done, Poston claimed that the Redskins had failed to include in the final version of the contract a $6.5 million roster bonus payable in 2006, which would have resulted in two 2006 $6.5 million roster bonuses in the contract. In support of the allegation that the 'Skins had hoodwinked Arrington and his agent, Poston admitted that the didn't read the contract before it was signed. The grievance filed on Arrington's behalf later was resolved in a manner that resulted in no payment or promise of payment to Arrington. Poston can appeal the suspension to an arbitrator. The irony is that Arrington was cut before either bonus would have come due. And the far bigger disservice, in our opinion, to Arrington was the failure of Poston to determine the market value of Arrington before allowing him to waive $4.4 million in deferred signing bonus money in order to secure his freedom, and in permitting him to turn down the opportunity to convert the $6.5 million roster bonus into a guaranteed payment. In more than a week since Arrington bought his release from the 'Skins by giving up the deferred bonus money, Arrington has made two visits and has received no offers.

akiliMVP Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I'd rather have Simmons and one (or two) of our offensive lineman re-signed than having one of the most overrated players in the NFL on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlackJesus Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 [quote name='Patmo' post='232099' date='Mar 14 2006, 07:56 PM']Chris Perry got a 7 million $ deal as the 26th draft pick in the first rd of '04.Why would the Bengals overpay Arringtion when they can get a terrific LB with this years 24th pick ? You could say Arrington's a great LB and possibly be right.However,the real question is how much greater at what cost ? In my book,draft a stud LB and thank God that we've got guys like Landon Johnson on our roster. The cost of both will be 25 % of Arrington's tab and will have no impact on your CAP.[/quote] [b]Patmo you could make this argument with any position .... why pay for a 20 millon dollar RB when you can get a good one at 24 ? etc etc etc However if you get Arrington (who is probably the most athletically gifted linebacker since Lawrence Taylor) then you can also get another great player at 24 and fill 2 needs instead of one ..... I'm thinking the Bengals might be liking the idea of Pope at #24 ..... [/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Claptonrocks Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I know he's athletic... I also know that he's been an underachiever for better part of his career..

ArticBengal Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Most teams are done shelling out the big money on free agents. This guy wanted to much at the start of free agency(the doings of his agents no doubt). The only way this guy is gonna make the big money is if he gets a contract loaded with incentives. I wouldn't mind signing him to something like this, it would force him to work hard and reach his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something to talk about, and he is one of the few guys that could actually be a difference-maker out there. Still...I won't hold my breath, and I certainly don't think it's a 'must have' for our D to get better this year. Jackson, Madieu and the development of Pollack and Thurman alone should raise us 12 spots in the yardage rankings. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBZ Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Obviously, it's not something to put all your hopes on. But I do believe that Arrington is a much better fit with our D than Sam Adams could ever be. Meaning...It wouldn't be tough to choose between the two; especially if Adams wants 3.5M and Arrington costs 6M. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fredtoast Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Why is evryone so excited about getting Arrington. The guy is nothing but a trouble maker, and he hasn't done much of anything on the field lately. He has only played in 15 games over the last two seasons and has a grand total of fifty tackles and ONE sack. He is maybe the most over hyped player in the entire league.

Frankly I dont know what to think about this. Is it a ruse by the Arrington camp to get more money elsewhere? Is it legit? If so, which I'd be supprised, what happens to Pollack who was drafted to fit this role? Does he go back to DE? I'd be supprised by that as well. Does Simmons get let go or put into rotation? Ill be very supprised if this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
