His father, a Hall of Famer, and arguably the greatest tight end ever, is also an attorney.
He helped KWII choose the Poston's as his agent. He knows their reputation as tough negotiators. The Browns are in over their heads against these guys. KW (Dad) knows this is 'professional' football and you have to negotiate hard to get the money while you can.
That being said, all these salaries are ridiculous. In Tampa, two years ago, after being let go by Jacksonville, Keenan McCardell signed a four year contract that will pay him 2.75MM this season. He is holding out because he wants 4+MM a year. The Bucs have said 'pound sand', a contract is a contract. Hard to see how a guy is willing to walk away from a job that will pay him $52,884. per week. A freakin' week. Ridiculous.
