Terrell Suggs sues dead agent, feels he got screwed after agent died

NFL stud Terrell Suggs is suing his former agent ... who died in 2011 ... claiming he shouldn't have to keep paying commission from his $62 million contract -- because he's been useless ever since he passed away.
According to docs filed in federal court in Virginia and obtained by TMZ Sports, Suggs sued the estate of former super agent Gary Wichard ... the guy who negotiated Terrell's mega-contract with the Baltimore Ravens in 2009.
Suggs says he was obligated to pay Wichard 3% of his salary for the entirety of his deal -- but in exchange, Wichard's agency would actively manage his career and take care of everything from seeking endorsement deals to booking doctor appointments.
But when Wichard passed in 2011, Suggs says the agency kicked T-Sizzle to an "inexperienced and unqualified agent."
Suggs says the new agent completely dropped the ball -- and when he had his best season in 2011, the agent failed to score him any major endorsement deals that usually result from "such outstanding on-field play."

Terrell Suggs is a great football player; however, he is a dogshit human being and is dumb as a rock.

Summer's Eve should give him a contract since he's the biggest douche in the NFL.

Sounds like he could have a legitimate argument

I kind of agree with him.

Agreed. Too many factors involved for him to actually win the argument imo, but I see nothing wrong with his reasoning.

Seems like he has a legitimate complaint and concern here though.

That's pretty understandable to be upset over on his part if true.

Dude looks like a penis

Despite the allegations, Wichard's estate has demanded $192k from Suggs, which he refused to pay. The dispute went to an arbitrator -- who ultimately ruled against Suggs.
Looks like the estate is the proactive one going after its money, as it should. The headline of "Suggs sues dead agent" sparks thoughts of a baseless dispute or legal bullying by Suggs, when it's neither.

Well, the agent did die, and as we know, only posers die, so the Suggs suit obviously has merit.
Posted on 2/17/15 at 9:44 pm to Bench McElroy
I think that he has a legit gripe, even though, the contract in which he willingly signed, probably clearly states that they are still owed the money.
