Newly signed Redskin, DeSean Jackson, has been having ongoing issues with his former agent Drew Rosenhaus. Back in 2011, when DeSean was having financial troubles, he reportedly borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars from Rosenhaus, sometimes using his credit card to get by. It didn’t stop him from taking to the strip club and making it rain $25k of what could have very well been Rosenhaus’ money. Rosenhaus says that between the time he began working for Jackson (2009-2012) Desean raked up a $400k bill. Rosenhaus filed a grievance against Jackson back in 2013. A year later, still nothing has been paid back.
On April 10th 2014 the arbitration court decided that Jackson did indeed owe Rosenhaus a total of $516,415.
Then on April 24th, Rosenhaus filed a federal lawsuit claiming that Jackson has not followed the order of the arbitration court and STILL refuses to pay up. He explains that the court said Jackson had 10 days after the order tot PAY up the full amount to Rosenhaus.
Rosenhaus says Jackson has left him with NO choice but to file a federal suit to confirm the arbitration award and for judgement in the amount of 516k.
He is also asking for a constructive trust and/or lien on Jackson’s current contract with the Washington Redskins. Jackson has yet to respond to the federal lawsuit.
C’mon DeSean, pay the man what you owe before it gets ugly(er).
