Poston suspended indefinately (1 Viewer)

(KFFL) John Clayton, of ESPN.com, reports the NFL Players Association notified the NFL that agent Carl Poston has been suspended indefinitely. The NFL informed all 32 teams in a memo that Poston can't be involved in negotiations for any player, nor can he be an adviser on any deals. The term of the suspension was "until further notice." It was unclear why the union termed the suspension "until further notice" when the original length was two years.

What rookies did he represent in this draft?

Given his "past success", I wonder if the owners will appeal

I forget, why was he suspended in the first place?

Poston suspended indefinately, might it affect some signings?

I suppose it could affect some signings, but I don't think it would affect many or affect them in a major way. We're probably talking about losing one lead negotiator from an entire company that handles many clients. Not a 1-man operation where negotiations are completely off until he hires a replacement.

While Carl has been suspended, I am sure he will be working back in the office on deals for Kevin Poston. Kevin will be the point man and in the meetings, but when he leaves he will get his brother on the phone and discuss. And before he goes into the meetings he will "Gameplan" with his brother.

Given that the certain players have sued the NFLPA for failing to oversee an investment planner, I think the NFLPA has to take some action against an agent who admits that he didn't read a contract.
