The Brandon Marshall saga has tabbed the unruly pass catcher as just another troublesome wide receiver. Just add him to the list of the NFL’s recent malcontents: Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco, Keyshawn Johnson, Deion Branch, Jerry Porter, and even in his short time in the league, Michael Crabtree, among others. While he may be going […]

The Rivers Deal
The 6-year, $92 million extension given to Philip Rivers by the Chargers was nothing less than surprising in my eyes. It’s not the fact that Rivers does not deserve it, because I disagree. I feel as though Rivers is an excellent quarterback and a staple in San Diego. Therefore, while many would say it’s enough […]
This past Saturday, the UFL held an open tryout in Orlando, Florida. The tryout was mostly for the Orlando team to scout potential additions to its roster. The tryout started a few hours late because of the overwhelming attendance; over 1,200 players arrived on August 22nd to be seen. Since the tryout, 12 players have […]
Is Eugene Parker so busy fielding questions from the media and having discussions with the 49ers front office, that he is not paying enough attention to his veteran clients? 49ers faithful are getting crabby with the agent, and it looks like SportsAgentBlog.com readers are not to thrilled with the Crabtree holdout, either. Whether or not […]
With Malcolm Jenkins coming to an agreement with the New Orleans Saints late Sunday night, the holdout party of 7 dropped to a smaller table of 6. Those remaining unsigned, along with their representation are listed below: Aaron Curry, LB, Seattle Seahawks (4th overall pick) – Octagon Andre Smith, T, Cincinnati Bengals (6th overall pick) […]

Before I jump to support any side, I’d like to present some important points-of-view. From the athlete side: Professional sports are […]
The Saints are waiting for Malcolm Jenkins to come marching in and it looks as though the 49ers will be waiting a lot longer for their first round pick to sign. The battle over next year’s crop of talent is not a two company fight between CAA and Athletes First. At least Eugene Parker wants […]
The New York Giants and their prized quarterback Eli Manning have agreed to a deal for 6-years, $97.5 million with $35 million guaranteed. This will give Manning an averaged $15.3 million per year, which is $1.13 million more per year than older brother Peyton Manning. Let’s take a look at the other quarterbacks drafted in […]
First round NFL deals are moving along slower than a snail’s pace. We saw this coming, though. That said, New Orleans Saints fans are not happy that their first round pick, Malcolm Jenkins, continues to sit out of camp. Their unhappiness is amplified by the fact that Brian Orakpo (picked before Jenkins) and Brian Cushing […]
When Matt Cassel signed with the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason, Dominic Perilli noticed that Cassel, a college backup to USC starting quarterback, Matt Leinart, will make more money on this contract than Leinart will make on his current contract, which has a length of one year more than Cassel’s contract. To be fair to […]
