Drew Rosenhaus, agent of Eagles Tight End Cornelius Ingram, said via his Twitter account, “…we have just agreed to terms on a 4 year deal for rookie TE Cornelius Ingram.” This is great news for Eagles fans and can be seen as great news for other rookie tight ends who are currently awaiting contracts.

GMs Playing Favorites?

First Andre Smith dropped Alvin Keels and GMG Sports for Rick Smith and Priority Sports.  Rumors circulated that Andre did this to raise his draft stock, because many teams felt more comfortable if Andre was with Priority over GMG.  As we all know, Andre went back to Alvin Keels, and Rick Smith/Priority Sports have still […]

Rosenhaus Fired, Hired, And Busy

Yesterday was an eventful day for one Drew Rosenhaus.  He was fired by a client, re-signed a client who had fired him in the past, and negotiated a contract extension for one of his current clients…all in one day.  But such is a normal day for Rosenhaus (minus the firing). The man who fired Rosenhaus […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (5/22/09)

I am back up in lovely Gainesville, FL.  No matter if you are in Miami, Gainesville, or anywhere else in the state, you better get used to summer weather.  Blistering heat until 2-3 p.m., then at least a couple of hours of thunderstorms.  Such is life.  I am back to taking classes and working very […]

An Unfair Double Standard In The NFL?

Yesterday, Drew Rosenhaus tweeted, “Why is there so much controversy when a player who out-performs his contract asks for a increased deal? NFL teams release players everyday who have several years left on their contracts. It’s an unfair double standard that teams can cut players before they finish their deal.”  There is an easy answer […]

Rosenhaus In Bed With ESPN?

If you watched any portion of the NFL Draft, you undoubtedly caught the new commercial on ESPN featuring Drew Rosenhaus. Tom Jones of the St. Pete Times likes the commercial, but thinks that there is a blatant conflict of interest in having Rosenhaus on a commercial that was paid for by ESPN and really endorses […]

Some More NFL Draft Notes

Drew Rosenhaus did not have a single player taken in the first-round of this draft (he does represent the first pick of the 2nd round, Louis Delmas).  When’s the last time there was a Rosenhaus-free first round?  I’m sure he kept himself very busy during the first-round, anyway. Michael Mitchell, the biggest surprise of Day […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (4/24/09)

The University of Florida is the #4 party school according to Playboy’s 2009 rankings.  The University of Miami is #1.  2L classes have finally come to a close.  I turned in my Legal Drafting final yesterday and just completed a 24-hour take home exam in International Human Rights Law.  I am mentally and physically drained.  […]

What’s The NFL Free Agency Word?

Here are some deals that caught my eye over the past week: Alvin Keels and Joel Segal got DeAngelo Hall $54 million ($22.5 million guaranteed) in a 6-year deal with the Redskins. The Redskins have already spent a lot not only on Hall, but also on Albert Haynesworth.  Chad Speck got his client a 7-year […]
