oman128 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I didnt know rappers were qualified to be agents, I thought you needed an education. Not street cred.
DDD Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Remember the whole Ricky Williams-Master P thing and how teams passed on Ricky because of concern over signability? Players should have professionals represent them imo. Hey, at least Eugene Parker is not representing Evans.

FluffHead Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Is he all about his BILLS? Is he on his Stevie Johnson? Or Is he maybin mayhem quartaback cravin?
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Signs with cash money sports agency - http://m.tmz.com/#Ar...exas-am-birdman I no, who cares who he signs with.
johnwalter Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 no, who cares who he signs with. unless its eugene parker
johnwalter Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 maybe this means we'd be able to take advantage of him in negotiations. or maybe it means doug whaley would get dissed over some sick beats after a contract dispute goes sour. who knows? really, the issues that affect how i "feel a/b" mike evans: 1) is he a good football player? 2) is he a liability off the field? 3) does he have injury concerns? 4) how does he fit our scheme/needs? 5) who are our other options? none of which are affected by the identity of his agent. and if you're going to argue with me that this affects #2, i think you should be careful about what you say to justify that opinion.
K D Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I think it shows a level of immaturity to sign with these guys so it is a red flag for me honestly
Clutchwarfare Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I think it shows a level of immaturity to sign with these guys so it is a red flag for me honestly I agree. However, Jay-Z did manage to get Robinson Cano a heck of a contract in MLB. FWIW
Thurman#1 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Agreed. If Buffalo isn't going to be willing to pay market value to re-sign guy who are among the one or two best in the league at their position, they should stay away from Parker client and clients of any reputable agent. A better idea would be to start to understand that with the best in football you're going to have to pay very very high salaries and the only real way to avoid that is to trade or re-sign those guys early.

sodbuster Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Nope. Still would rather not draft him in the first.
1B4IDie Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I think it shows a level of immaturity to sign with these guys so it is a red flag for me honestly Actually it shows a level immaturity in you for having that opinion.
KollegeStudnet Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Nope, doesn't change a thing. Same unless its eugene parker ^this I think it shows a level of immaturity to sign with these guys so it is a red flag for me honestly I understand, but it hasn't been a problem yet. Iil' Wayne was with Cash Money and he raps about the Bills. So, it's cool bro. Edited March 15, 2014 by KollegeStudnet
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 no, who cares who he signs with. unless its eugene parker Yep, pretty much sums this one up. If the board is right, I really wouldn't mind drafting him.
RealityCheck Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I would be more concerned if Kevin Klein was his agent. With a name like Cash Money, I would listen to what he has to say. Cha-Ching.
JM57 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Remember the whole Ricky Williams-Master P thing and how teams passed on Ricky because of concern over signability? Players should have professionals represent them imo. Hey, at least Eugene Parker is not representing Evans. I believe that the rappers themselves (in this case Birdman, but also Jay-Z) are not the AGENTS. They are owners of the AGENCY. They're the money men, and the "face" used to recruit the athletes. They then hire their own agents or work with established agencies. ROC Nation Sports works in collaboration with CAA, for example.
