Happy Friday ladies and gentlemen! In case you missed it, we posted our complete player-agent listings of the 2015 NFL Draft earlier in the week. There was extremely sad news last week with Dante Fowler Jr., the 3rd overall pick, suffering a season-ending ACL tear in his first day of the Jags rookie camp. Thankfully for Dante (and agent Ben Dogra), the Jaguars honored his contract and signed him to a fully guaranteed deal. On a much brighter note, Darren is currently in Turkey (yes, Turkey) enjoying life. Despite being on the other side of the world, he still found the time to get some articles up this week on FORBES: (1) No Sophomore For NFL Agent Joseph Clayborne; (2) The Associated Press Plans To Sell Its Sports Assets For The First Time. And, as always, the weekly wrap-up:
