“I don’t think that this matter is even close to resolved,” said David Pessin, a Baltimore-based sports attorney and founding member of Pessin Katz Law P.A. “I think this is the kind of case that begs to be further negotiated and settled. Maybe that will be a suspension, maybe that will be a reduction in payments. Maybe it will be a renegotiation of the contract with a shorter term.”
Mr. Pessin went on to comment that he hoped the announcement was in anticipation of renegotiation rather than because negotiations between the parties had failed.
