NFLPA Fines, Suspends Marty Magid, Elvis Dumervil's Former Agent, for FaxGate Role,Broncos can still be fined if NFLPA says CBA was violated

[bayone]

The National Football League Players Association announced on Tuesday that Marty Magid, Elvis Dumervil's former agent, has been suspended for six months and fined $25,000 for showing negligence in contract negotiations with the Denver Broncos this past offseason.

----------

Seven months later, the NFLPA is getting involved:

 

 The press release sent out by the NFLPA noted that Magid has the right to appeal the disciplinary action and also noted that the Broncos may also be disciplined:

 

 

After investigation, CARD determined that the negligence of Magid, former certified contractor advisor for Elvis Dumervil, contributed to the events that led to the Denver Broncos’ release of Dumervil in March 2013. CARD has imposed a six month suspension of Magid’s certification as an NFLPA contract advisor and a $25,000 fine.  

 

 

If the Broncos violated the CBA, they may also receive a fine from the league's player union.

 

[Our]  discipline of Magid does not foreclose action the NFLPA may take against the NFL club for its conduct, which may have violated the Collective Bargaining Agreement and Dumervil’s rights under the CBA. 

 

 

The action from NFLPA may help to clear up who was in the wrong. As of now, all fingers are pointed at Magid.

Magid was disciplined by the NFL Players Association, which announced the suspension and fine after its Committee on Agent Regulation and Discipline reviewed the case.

Magid's fine was a slap on the wrist given how much those guys make off players like Dumervil.  I don't see how the Broncos would be fined though.  I'm curious as to the basis for that sanction.
