Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman, Jake Gardiner, is in the final year of his three-year entry-level deal. It should thus come as no surprise that the former Wisconsin Badger recently swapped agents as he nears a new contract this upcoming off-season. Whether it is the NHL, NFL, or any of the other major professional leagues, it […]
Sports agent, Jimmy Sexton, leads Creative Artists Agency’s Coaches Division.

But it’s good to be back in Miami and back to the grind. Quite a busy week will conclude with (hopefully) some relaxation. However, before I settle down, […]

I survived Costa Rica, which I count as a major win. It was an absolute blast, but it is always nice to come home to a city that you love (Miami). Tough first loss for the Miami Dolphins this past Monday, and it will be interesting to see how they rebound against the Ravens. Basketball […]

And then ESPN’s Buster Olney said that Cano is still looking for $300 million (plus another $5 million) over the course of a 10-year contract. The Yankees and Cano’s […]
