Super Bowl Champion linebacker Mychal Kendricks has reached an agreement to pay back exactly $1,188,075, equaling the total he earned in profit from insider trading. Assuredly, this agreement should aide his search for leniency for his criminal trial of similar charges brought against him by the SEC. Those charges, conspiracy to commit securities fraud and one count of securities fraud, has Kendricks facing up to 25 years in prison.
Kendricks originally was charged back in October of 2018 while a member of the Cleveland Browns. The Browns subsequently released Kendricks and he has been attempting to mitigate the damages by staying out of the public eye since then. He was then picked up by the Seattle Seahawks in spite of the charges. Kendricks was once a very promising linebacker in the NFL, having been drafted in the 2nd round back in 2012. He was apart of the 2018 Eagle defense that carried the team to its first Superbowl victory.
Kendricks sentencing hearing has been elusive, seemingly because his defense is working behind the scenes in order to get him the best deal possible. Kendrick’s sentencing date has been been pushed back 6 times and now his exact sentencing date is unknown but figures to be soon now that the civil case is resolved.
Kendricks is the brother of Minnesota Vikings Linebacker Eric Kendricks.
