This time, I’m sure you’ll be surprised to know that it’s about another football player. In this case, he seems to think he’s missing $6.5 million. Now I don’t know about you, but even if I had a contract for nearly $70 million, I’d make sure that extra $6.5 million was included before signing anything.
Heck, my wife wanted me to sign something yesterday and I hadn’t read the materials I was saying I had read, so I had a problem with it. And that’s just a notice – I wasn’t receiving any money for the reading.
According to the article, LaVar Arrington’s agent initialed every page of the final contract. Now I’m sorry if the team acted unfairly and slipped in a modified contract, but if you (or someone acting on your behalf) signs the contract, it’s your problem. Not theirs. Not ours. Get over it, and actually read the thing next time. Or hire a better agent who will do so for you instead of missing a little thing like $6.5 million.
