NFL star Terrell Suggs still owes three percent commission on his contract to his agent Gary Wichard, who died in 2011. Wichard negotiated Suggs’ $62 million dollar contract in 2009 and died of diabetes shortly thereafter. Wichard had it written into the contract that the commission would go to his estate following his death. This irked Suggs, since his agent wasn’t doing a lot for his career as a dead guy. An arbitrator ruled against Suggs, who is now taking the matter to federal court. You don’t have time to read your contract. You pay someone else for that shit. Coincidentally the same guy who wrote it. Sports agents don’t stop being sleazy opportunists once they pass into the next life. Wichard’s legacy will live on as his kids sit back and soak up that contract money for years to come. It’s matrilineal so Wichard will get a cut of whatever Suggs little ones end up pulling in. Or they can work it off on the landscaping crew of his estate. Don’t start another Civil War Suggs. Pay the dead man his money.
