John from Riverside Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 ive had your back EJ....but this takes you down a couple of pegs...it really does
Peter Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Apparently he wants out of Buffalo !! Well EJ if you play like you have to this point the feeling is mutual !! Where did you get that idea?
BillsVet Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Maybe Eugene Parker took EJ on so that Brandon can feel like he'll win a negotiation against his nemesis. That is, if Brandon had anything to do with football operations anymore.
Augie Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Apparently he wants out of Buffalo !! We could trade him to Marrone's team. They got along famously.... oh wait, there's a problem with that!
QCity Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I believe Sammy is represented by another guy at Relativity. It is the same agency though. The other guy (whose name escapes me) is the guy who was with him at the draft and had his photo taken with Sammy and the head coach of Clemson and others. He also may have flown up to Buffalo after the draft. Sammy is represented by Parker. Parker doesn't get involved with rookie contracts anymore because the new CBA leaves very little room for negotiation (it's work for his peons now). There is no 5th year option on his rookie deal. We have 3 seasons left on Sammy's contract and I assure you Parker will be heading negotiations. I don't think too many fans are concerned about EJ's agent.
DirtyWarriorMan Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Parker doesn't care about the Bills or any other team. He just wants fat stacks of cash for his players (and therefore himself). If Sammy turns out to be the stud we think he'll be, then the Bills will pony up the dough and Parker/Watkins will gladly accept.
Maddog69 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Its possible EJ was unhappy with his previous agent and simply made a swap to have better representation. But flame away. Its possible EJ was unhappy with his previous agent and simply made a swap to have better representation. But flame away. Maybe he is looking for an agency that also has a strong PR team. EJ seems to be pretty harshly criticized and has really not received and type of support at all from the Bills organization. He could you some marketing to get his name/face out to the national audience in a more positive light.
Ted William's frozen head Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Surprised Parker took him as a client.... CBF EJ is a charity case for Parker...
Solomon Grundy Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Wasn't Eugene Parker Bruce Smith's agent?
NewEra Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Sigh. And I liked EJ the person. Having 2nd thoughts
papazoid Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 EJ just got hurt (cough)....may not be available for OTA's.......(laffin)
217014170 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Wasn't Eugene Parker Bruce Smith's agent? Leigh Steinberg...remember him?

Edit. Yes there is a fifth as mandated by the CBA unless I am missing something Edited January 17, 2015 by plenzmd1

Best Player Available Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Get ready for the hold out.he probably won't play out his rook contract with the Bills.No Problem there. How is his stock shares trending? I am guessing it at a low right now.
bigK14094 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Byrd, Peters all took the season off (almost) when they didn 't get their way....injuries, m a . This with the coaching of Parker. I would have let Peters sit the three seasons he was signed for.......and Byrd....what a bargain the Saints got....got rid of good pro's to pay for him...and he didn't delivery. Hurt...folks, thats part of the deal...big money better be durible. Same reason Poluzny was a good pass, he was always hurt. Jacksonville would gladly part with him I am told. Back to EJ........these young QB's are to concerned with the business side...RG3 concerned about his brand...not about whether he can make it in pro football. Signs are he cannot and I am praying the Bills don't bring in that turkey. Manuel the same.....I hope EJ plays well enough to deserve big money, but we haven't seen any of that here yet.
bladiebla Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 May as well cut him straight away, no point in trying to have him become the franchise QB when you know he'll walk at dawn.
Thurmal34 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Here are all the guys from Parker's roster that are currently playing and have had some sort of tie to the Bills: Jairus Byrd Alex Carrington Marquis Gray Stevie Johnson Marshawn Lynch EJ Manuel Sammy Watkins Not sure if Stevie was with Parker when he re-signed here, but that would be the only example of a player staying with Buffalo. Apparently Jason Peters has moved on as he is not on Parker's website. But we all know how that went. Im worried to see Watkins up there, but also confident that Whaley will get it done since Watkins will be worth the money. Stevie was represented by CJ LaBoy I believe.
