Two weeks after having a lawsuit filed against him seeking tens of thousands of dollars in compensation for admissions reimbursements and a number of other factors, including damage to their reputation by FlexWork Sports Management LLC, Diontae Johnson and his agent, Brad Cicala, have responded to the allegations set forth by the company, calling the claims “false” while classifying the lawsuit as “nothing more than a money grab,” according to a statement posted to twitter by NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo.
Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported August 9 that FlexWork filed suit against Johnson on August 2 for his failure to appear at a football camp on May 22 to be hosted in Pittsburgh at Cupples Stadium on the South Side.
