Bentley sues Browns for career-ending staph infection
Football Betting Lines
07/22/2010 -
Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Cleveland Browns center LeCharles
Bentley has sued the Browns, reportedly for fraud and negligent
misrepresentation over a career-ending staph infection he suffered while with
the club.
Bentley filed his civil suit in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas on
Thursday, and the case has been assigned to Judge Joseph D. Russo. The Plain
Dealer of Cleveland reports the suit asks for more than $25,000 for pain and
suffering, plus punitive damages.
Bentley is not the first former Browns player to file such a suit, as wide
receiver Joe Jurevicius reached a settlement with the club in June after he
also suffered a staph infection.
The team has multiple issues with staph from a period starting in 2003 that
included tight end Kellen Winslow, wide receiver Braylon Edwards, defensive
back Brian Russell and linebacker Ben Taylor.
Regarded as the top free agent in the 2006 off-season, Bentley backed out of
an unofficial agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles before signing a
reported six-year, $36 million deal with the Browns. In July of that year
he tore the patella tendon in his knee, sidelining him for all of 2006,
and suffered a staph infection that kept him out of the 2007 campaign.
He returned to the team's minicamp in 2008 before asking for his release. His
request was granted, and he has never played since.
The Ohio State product started 57 games with New Orleans from 2002-2005 and
was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2003 and 2005.
