Still want to be an NFL agent, right? Move as far away from Florida as imaginable and make sure to provide your client the least amount of publicity as possible, or else risk losing him to Drew Rosenhaus.

Yelling JaMarcus Russell in an Oakland, California theater is almost like yelling fire – everyone is going to look for the nearest exit.

In the NFL, rookie salaries for players drafted in the earlier rounds (especially first round) are typically highly competitive with essentially unlimited upside to […]
As expected, Tim Tebow has already become a marketing machine in the NFL. Since 2006, the NFL has been tracking rookie jersey sales. Tebow is sitting on the #1 spot for jersey sales, and has already beat the record for rookie jersey sales, which was held until now, by last year’s rookie, Mark Sanchez. According […]
