Damarius Bilbo was actually fined $12,500 and suspended for three months from representing NFL players back on Jan. 9.
According to Darren Heitner of Sports Agent Blog, Bilbo allegedly received a marketing check intended for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry and deposited it in his own business account. Bilbo's intention was to wire the money to Landry, minus the commission, but was tardy.
Some other notable players Bilbo represents are Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard, Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon — who is currently away from the team as he wants a new contract — and New Orleans Saints star running back Alvin Kamara.
Rich Paul is trying to take over the sports world. Along with representing LeBron, Paul also represents NBA stars such as John Wall, Ben Simmons, Eric Bledsoe and JR Smith on the NBA side.
This should be an interesting dynamic moving forward. Paul has never been shy of wanting to expand his business ventures.
