DeSean Jackson is claiming he hired agent Drew Rosenhaus in 2009 after being bribed, which would be in violation of NFL Players Association rules.
In legal documents obtained by TMZ, Jackson, who owes Rosenhaus $516,415 in loans and fees following an arbitration hearing in April, appears to be arguing that the money he received from Rosenhaus was not a loan and shouldn’t be repaid because it was used to entice Jackson to use the agent’s services in his contract negotiation with the Eagles.
Jackson, now with the Redskins, claims to have received some of the money in cash, stuffed inside a Louis Vuitton bag, just after midnight on Nov. 10, 2009. Jackson fired his agent the next day, and later hired Rosenhaus.
“We went over the contract on the car [on the side of the road],” Rosenhaus said during an arbitration hearing in September 2013. “I waited until I saw on my phone that it was after midnight. We proceeded to execute the contract. After executing the contract, I then gave DeSean the money that we agreed to give him. I gave it to him in the [Louis Vuitton] bag.”
Jackson also cited Rosenhaus as the reason for his holdout in 2011, which failed to earn the receiver a new contract. Jackson claims  Rosenhaus paid him and his family $143,088 to remain a client, with “a down payment of $50,000 cash around midnight, at a gas station parking lot, in a Louis Vuitton travel bag. He also gave Jackson a $90,000 check, and a $200,000 interest-free loan,” according to Yahoo!
NFLPA rules state agents cannot provide or offer money, or anything of value to a player, “to induce or encourage that player to utilize [his] services.” Players are not obligated to repay money which is given in violation of that rule.
