NFLPA Issues Complaint Against Agent

The NFLPA's CARD Committee has issued a complaint against player agent Ian Greengross:

"The NFLPA’s Committee on Agent Regulation and Discipline (CARD) issued a disciplinary complaint against NFLPA Contract Advisor Ian Greengross today for violating numerous provisions of the NFLPA’s Agent Regulations while recruiting and representing players, and for the actions of his recruiter, Kenny Rogers. Under the NFLPA Regulations, an agent is held responsible for the actions of his recruiters, employees and associates if their conduct violates the Regulations. Rogers is alleged to have, at various times, misrepresented to prospective player-clients that he was an NFLPA employee, a Club official and an official from a testing service in an effort to recruit them. He also is alleged to have recruited players as clients while those players were signed to agent contracts with other agents in violation of the Regulations.

Under the Regulations, Greengross now has the opportunity to answer the complaint, after which CARD may impose discipline, including a fine, suspension or revocation of his Certification as a Contract Advisor. Given the significance of the violations, CARD is considering exercising its right to immediately impose discipline pending any hearing on the matter and has asked Greengross to show cause as to why such action should not be taken."

Back in July, Michael C. Wright of ESPNChicago.com reported the details of the NFLPA's investigation into Greengross, whose office is based in Chicago.
