File this under absolute mess. Seriously. This legitimately bothers me. Here comes a necessary LeSean McCoy timeline: 10/10/11 – I reported that LeSean McCoy fired Drew Rosenhaus the prior week (including filing the NFLPA paperwork officially terminate the relationship), but rescinded the paperwork within 24 hours and decided to stay with Rosenhaus. 10/11/11 – I noted that […]
Rennie Curran is an outside linebacker from the University of Georgia who was selected by the Tennessee Titans with the #97 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Drew Rosenhaus just lost LeSean McCoy of the Philadelphia Eagles for the second time in a matter of roughly a month. But as Rosenhaus loses one great client, he gains another. Actually, the signing of this former Florida Gator happened a couple of weeks ago. Rosenhaus is now the agent of Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden. Haden […]
It looks like quite the battle is heating up between Ivan Nova of the New York Yankees and LeSean McCoy of the Philadelphia Eagles. Obviously, the battle is not on the field of play, as one is a professional baseball player and the other plays in the NFL. I recently reported that Nova fired SFX, hired Greg […]
Yesterday, I reported that LeSean “Shady” McCoy was very close to being “on to the next one.” He fired his agent Drew Rosenhaus only to re-hire him one day later.

Players must also notify NFL PLAYERS should they change marketing reps. NFL PLAYERS is the NFL Players […]
LeSean McCoy often goes by his nickname Shady McCoy. The following story is one that could be referred to as kind of shady. Apparently, McCoy fired his agent Drew Rosenhaus last week only to re-hire him 1 day later. McCoy filed the NFLPA paperwork and all to officially terminate his relationship with Rosenhaus, but rescinded that request within about 24 […]
Defensive back Jordan Pugh is in his second year with the Carolina Panthers. He was drafted by the Panthers in the 6th round (#202 overall) in the 2010 NFL Draft. Prior to being drafted, Pugh played at Texas A&M. He and I still have no idea whether his alma mater will be staying in the Big […]

While many On To The Next One posts are about a client switching from one agent to Rosenhaus, Fletcher took the opposite path, leaving Rosenhaus […]
