This makes plenty of sense. Richie's agent apparently sold him out. Obviously he didn't predict it would backfire on him.

This makes plenty of sense. No, players pay agents to take care of the financial part of their game... Not all conduct business in good faith, this is a perfect example.

Why is that not front and center? It is the ONLY issue here. He’d be playing if he could be trusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills shouldn't have treated Richie so poorly. No trying to be funny but are you losing it? I’ve hated a ton if he moves these regime made but how a sane person could blame the Bills for this is loco. RI was crazy before Buffalo. He somehow keep it together because it was his last chance in the nfl. Now he is back to being crazy. Guess how people with mental health issues don’t get better? By groupies making excuses for their behavior and not having them accept responsibility for their actions. But I look forward to your post after Ri kills or hurts someone saying he was just misunderstood and it’s not his fault. I could only imagine how much you would defend if he went to Bama! 3 minutes ago, NoSaint said: Can you believe beane made him kill a guy?!? The Bills low balled Ri so he had no choice! The Bills’ contract offer is also the reason he got kicked out of multiple college and off multiple Nfl teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agent works for the player, and gets nothing if the player gets nothing. I won’t continue this since it’s senseless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Finkel Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I hope he is ok. He hasn’t been on twitter since 9/20. The last time he went radio silent he was in rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nothing on the agency part. OK, please try to explain why it was not in “good faith” (actually TWO words). Are you confusing incompetency? Was he in cahoots with the Bills to screw Richie? Why would he risk his license to practice by not acting in good faith on behalf of his client. You realize that could eliminate his ability to make a living, right? 2 minutes ago, Sky Diver said: He obviously wasn't counting on Richie getting nothing. Selling Richie out backfired on him. Richie is a grown man and signed the deal. Enough already. Selling out? How? Why? The man is mentally unstable, and you want to blame everyone else? I want him to get help.

That bridge is burnt. Richie as the victim. You are either a fool or a troll. I suspect both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team has exhibited an interest in him. Why do you think that is so? He's a troubled soul that most of wish him well. At this stage in his life football shouldn't be the most important thing in his life. Getting his life in order with medical help is what he needs most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Diver Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Shady offered to pony up his own money to get Richie back. Would you do that for a crazy person? 5 minutes ago, JohnC said: Richie publicly firing his agent was an exhibition of his erratic behavior and not a reflection of his agent not properly acting on his behalf. How is it erratic behavior to fire your agent for not negotiating well for you? That seems like perfectly sensible behavior to me.

Whatever deal that was negotiated by the agent has to be agreed to by the client. The so called bad deal was a deal that he agreed to. If he wasn't agreeable to a deal then he had the prerogative of saying no and hitting the market. The reality is that the market was not responding. That is a statement in itself. In addition his erratic behavior during the offseason was a clear indication that he was a very troubled person.
