My former boss Gene Upshaw used to say, "The owners can only agree on one thing: The players make too much money." Sound familiar?

When an NFL player is traded, the form document provides that all “rights, title, and interest” to the contract goes to the new club unless something is specifically reserved. I filed a case before I left the PA for a player who was fined, then traded, and the club deducted the entire remaining unpaid fine from his last paycheck. Per Article 42, fine deductions must be made in equal amounts, subject to a max, if sufficient pay periods remain. So, argument was: Traded - sufficient pay periods under the contract remained to properly deduct the fine even though those pay periods were with a new team. Right - one of the rights the club had was full repayment of the fine. However, that was traded away and not specifically reserved. Thus, final deduction violated the CBA. I did not argue it. But since it was basically won on the filing letter, I am putting it in my W column. Good job by the PA attorney bringing it home. TBH been eyeing that scenario for years and just waiting for the unique set of facts to align. And they did. Woohoo.

In many states, if an agent is not licensed by the state, any agency contract (like a contract for marketing the student athlete) signed with that person is either void or voidable. In many states, the student athlete can keep any money provided to the student athlete by the agent if the contract is void. In many states, there are serious civil and/or criminal penalties. Student athletes should always consult a lawyer before signing with an agent. But, you can consult with a lawyer after signing as the athlete may have legal rights. I just so happen to practice in that area. But, whomever, best to talk to a lawyer about it.
The issue is that these so-called 'agents' (or - 'street agents' is the term used for years with AAU hoops) is they are not obeying the law and getting licensed. They show potential 'clients' up front they are not qualified and the players and their parents still 'fall for it'.

Front office roles, really focus on sports law. Multiple universities offer such programs now. Try to intern with teams and/or player agencies. Attend pro football contract negotiation competitions. Network your ass off.

I know the 3rd one’s a lot, but more asking about the backgrounds of people in Front Office roles. Feels like it’s really exploded over the last decade.

From Article 21 of the CBA “… no Club official may indicate to a player that such individual workouts are not voluntary…” Stating that OTAs are voluntary but also stating you expect players will attend kinda indicates maybe not so voluntary. At least to me. And I enforced the rules at the PA for 10 years or so. Just a guess. No inside info.

Safe to assume the guarantees void just based on the arrest. In addition to voiding on missed time, most guarantees void if the club reasonably believes a player has engaged in conduct which reflects adversely on the club. Or some similar language to that effect. I’d say the video qualifies. And I seriously doubt any arbitrator would say otherwise. I have not read the contract, but every contract I’ve ever read has that type of language. It would be different if it was just an accusation. Then, the PA argument is whether the club’ belief was reasonable based on an unproven accusation. In this case, there is video. In addition, many guarantees will also void with the clause “…or violate any other provision of this contract.” So, para 2 and 14 of the player contract. Which, even if everything was a huge innocent misunderstanding up to that point, resisting arrest probably qualifies. But, no forfeiture if cut. Tough case.
So uh, if the Michael Vick situation has any bearing here, James Pearce is going to have all of his guarantees voided if he sees real jail time. Which is basically the whole deal. Falcons will be out of a guy who was a good player. But at this point, how do you bring this guy back to the locker room? #DirtyBirds

To be clear, post is based on what was reported. I have no independent knowledge. It could be all one big mistake with no illegality and just aggressive cops. All completely accurate with everything illegal. Or somewhere in between.

If history is any judge, expect some offseason practice issues with the Giants this year. #nflpa

Player does not get a bye week, unfortunately.
Replying to @ErikLambert1
@ErikLambert1 what happens if a player is traded to a team that has had their bye week but his old team hadn't? Does the NFLPA oblige the league that every player has to have a bye week?

Also has worked the other way around where a player got 2 bye weeks the same season by being traded after he had his bye to a team that had not yet had a bye.

Article 45, section 6 (c) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, fine money collected pursuant to this Article shall be allocated as follows: 50% to the Players Assistance Trust and 50% to charitable organizations jointly determined by the NFL and the NFLPA. In the absence of said joint determination, the NFL and the NFLPA shall each determine a charitable organization or organizations to which half of the second 50% shall be allocated.
Replying to @LesBowen
I bet the fine $ doesn't even go to charity and the NFL and NFLPA execs just split it

The original 2020 fine numbers increased 3% per year. Could be a different reason, but that is likely why it is an odd looking amount.

How on Earth do they come up with these numbers?
