Running back Robert Perryman of the New England Patriots testified that agent Lloyd Bloom threatened him with possible incrimination if he refused to extend a contract agreement he’d signed earlier in violation of National Collegiate Athletic Assn. rules.

Perryman said Bloom and agent Norby Walters, both of whom are on trial in Chicago for fraud, extortion and racketeering, recruited him during the spring of 1986, his junior year at the University of Michigan. Perryman said the agents signed him to a post-dated contract, giving him $2,500 cash at the time and $240 to $250 a month thereafter, in violation of NCAA rules.
