Falcons Sued By Player Under Contract
28th March, 2007 - 1:21 pm
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jackson, who started all 16 games last season, is suing the franchise for invasion of privacy and defamation over the alleged released of his medical records, the player's attorney said Tuesday.

"It [the lawsuit] was just filed [Monday], and it was served on the Atlanta Falcons Football Club [Tuesday]," said Eric Farber, Jackson's San Francisco-based attorney.

A Falcons spokesman acknowledged the team had been served with the lawsuit, adding there were other motives behind the move.

"We are disappointed that Grady Jackson's agent has taken this action," Falcons vice president of football communications Reggie Roberts said by telephone, reading from a prepared statement. "We believe that this is a continuing attempt by the agent to gain a new contract for his client." [READ]
