Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - ESPN: NFLPA seeks disciplinary action against Arrington's agent

I love Lavar but if he actually thinks the Skins maliciously removed a bonus from his contract with the intention of having him sign it without knowledge of them removing the bonus then he is crazy as bat sh%t. A 6.5 million dollar bonus is HUGE. I think the FO is a lot of things but I don't think they are frauds. I think Dan Snyder is a lot of things but I don't think he got rich and bought the Skins by being a dispicable lying asshole. That's not good business and defrauding your best player and friend(at the time) makes 100% zero sense.

The issue here is that the 6.5 million bonus either never existed in terms of the Skins agreeing to it or it was removed during negotiations and the Postons simply forgot or misunderstood. They didn't read the contract so therefore THEY defrauded their client and THEY are responsible for making sure their player knows what he is signing. It is all about intent here and it goes beyond what is reasonable to think the Skins would have done something so underhanded. The Postons screwed this up and the NFLPA filing a grievance is the first sign that someone also thinks that. Hopefully they get booted. Good riddance.
