APLost in the launch of the lockout on March 11 was the news that long-time NFL agent Gary Wichard died that same day from complications of pancreatic cancer and diabetes. Wichard’s client list included a cluster of big names, including Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney, Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie, and Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs.
Per a league source, Suggs has now hired Joel Segal to be his agent.
Suggs had yet to hire a new agent following the passing of Wichard, who negotiated a big-money deal for Suggs in July 2009 that in many respects was better than the smoke-and-mirrors $100 million contract that Albert Haynesworth had signed with the Redskins earlier that year.
Wichard’s estate will continue to earn the fees generated by all contracts he negotiated, which is the only fair and proper approach. Segal will be eligible for fees only if/when Suggs does a new contract.

Let’s do work on the bungles this weekend Sizzle
“PutzbergKweefers” may be the worst username attempting to poke fun at the Pittsburgh Steelers name I’ve ever come across. Seriously, that’s the best you could do? That is absolutely awful. I mean there’s shi tty then there’s “PutzbergKweefers”.
By the time his current deal is up he will be ready to retire or they will let him walk cuz he will be pushing mid 30s
Tsizzle should be his own agent. Agent #1 at Ball so Hard UNIVERSITY!!!! Agent Sizzle needs to show on sunday! And let’s hope for lots of professor reeeeeed!!!
Andy Dalton’s in a heap of trouble this weekend, starting with this guy…who plays out of his mind at home.
@deebo92:
Almost as stupid as calling the Ravens the “ratbirds?”
Steelers fans are that guy at the bar who keeps making the same joke over and over again trying to get people’s attention, but ends up just being annoying.
@deebo92
Thank you madam. That is just the response I was hoping for from a Putzberg fan. Now go clean your hatchet wound.
Baltimoreballs,
Spot on sir. Wtf is a “ratbird?” Every time I see a steeler call the Ravens that I think to myself that must the kind of guy that buys Larry the Cable Guy dvds and thinks a Ford Mustang is the best car money can buy.
Hey Terrell, get back on ESPN and tell Skip and the rest of us how great Flacco is! Oh, and be sure to act all smug about it again.
