This week marked the start of the NFL new league year, as well as free agency, and it did not disappoint. In my opinion, this was the most active free agency, with many top players being moved, that I have ever seen. Drew Rosenhaus certainly enjoyed the week as he had more clients signed than any other agent over the week. Darren dove into the contract of one of the most prominent signings, Darrelle Revis, this week on FORBES: (1) Chelsea FC Partners With Mobile App Centered Around Soccer Conversation; (2) Darrelle Revis’ Wildly Successful Contract Structure With The Jets. And, as always, the weekly wrap-up:
