Agent: DEA Probe Has Nothing To Do With Ellison

Jerome Stanley, the agent for Seattle Seahawks safety Kevin Ellison, says the ongoing investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration into how medical staffs for the San Diego Chargers and San Diego Padres dispense painkilling medication has nothing to do with his client.

Ellison, a sixth-round pick by the Chargers in 2009, was arrested in Redondo Beach, California on May 24 after 100 Vicodin tablets were discovered in his possession during a traffic stop.

The Chargers waived Ellison on June 21. Seattle claimed the former USC standout the following day, but waived him last Friday before re-signing him on Tuesday, apparently to adjust contractual issues.

"This DEA thing has nothing whatsoever to do with Kevin Ellison," Stanley said. "Nothing whatsoever. At all. Period."
