Attorney: NFL Agent's Remarks in Jest; Wasn't Trying to Entice Teams to Draft Players

An attorney representing NFL agent David Canter said his client wasn't seriously attempting to entice teams to draft players he represented.

"The communications that are the subject of the investigation were no more than playful banter by Mr. Canter with industry colleagues, who interpreted them to be made in jest, as any reasonable person would," the statement said, in part.

"It is unfortunate that Mr. Canter must now defend his reputation, both in the court of public opinion and within the confines of the NFLPA's disciplinary committee."
