Correll Buckhalter's agent J.R. Rickert told the Associated Press the following regarding Buck, "He's eager to sit down with the coaches and explain to them that this is not something he's associated with."
Rickert says Buckhalter totally denies the charges.
"First of all, this news caught both Correll and me by surprise this morning," Rickert said. "When I found out, I talked to Correll, who said to me there is absolutely no validity to the allegation that was made. He did not purchase drugs from this individual or speak to this individual on the phone."
Of course his agent is emphasizing the lack of credibility of the accused drug pusher.
"My concern with a situation like this is we're not there to ask questions or dive into the allegations. We can't bring out things that might call into question the credibility of the information. This thing gets a life of its own because an individual says this on the stand."
He's says everything he knows about Buck, leads to him to believe him and disregard the accusations.
"I've got to go by everything I know about Correll Buckhalter as a person," Rickert said, "and all I can tell you is he's always conducted himself and carried himself as a professional. He's well aware of the NFL's personal conduct policy. He has respect for the league and the rules. And he's going to continue to carry on that way."
