Baltimore Ravens pass rusher, Terrell Suggs, is suing his deceased agent for failing to live up to their agreement.According to court documents, Suggs sued the estate of former top NFL agent — Gary Wichard. Wichard is the guy who negotiated Terrell’s $62 million extension with the Baltimore Ravens in 2009.Suggs says he was obligated to pay Wichard 3% of his salary for the entirety of his deal — but in exchange, Wichard’s agency would take a Roc Nation approach — turning Suggs into a star off the field with big money endorsements.When Wichard passed in 2011, Suggs says the agency provided him with an “inexperienced and unqualified agent.”Suggs says the new agent completely dropped the ball — failing to capitalize on his All Pro season in 2011.Here is an idea. Sign with Roc Nation and get their treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 I think so. Suggs has just thrown his money away on lawyer fees and court costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rastaman831226 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Sounds legit to me. When you sign with an agency and they fail to live up to their end of the bargain............ sue their arses dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Being a star off the field is a subjective concept. He has made plenty of appearances on First Take. I have seen things talking about his production company. All of that in off the field. The agent can't make him photogenic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
