Ah but it wouldn't help us make a move until June.

It would free up 1.5M immediately with the remaining 3.6M in savings coming June 1st.  

 

More importantly gets the guy that doesnt want to play anymore off the roster

Cannot validate this guy not on of the main media types 

 

 

Considering this guy said the Pats are signing Chark, safe to say he is not reliable

Also had JC Jackson to Chargers.  So go figure sometimes independent sources are not as reliable as the Big Time Reporters yet

He tweeted the NYG and Bills were talking an Evan Engram trade... when Engram was a FA? Doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. Guy has 7 followers. Anyone can put random guesses on twitter

Bobby you are a good poster but holy crap man.

 

You do realize how twitter works right? You can put whatever the hell you want in your twitter bio.

 

He account has 6 followers. It's a fake account.

 

Everyone and their mother's were predicting Jackson to the chargers....for weeks.

Jesus is it m or does Drew rep 90% of the league anymore.  It is like almost every signing is repped by Drew

I think with Athletes First (Todd France) he mostly reps QBs from what I was tracking.  It is interesting that Drew isnt in this list but yet his agency seems attached to almost every signing, unless I just see his name and think that based on the teams I have been looking at.

Don't get excited. Buffalo didn't get any.

I like the positive talk about Buffalo as a FA destination but if it just helps add a near-finished Rodger Saffold at a bargain rate............that's not much.

 

The other UFA's they've signed weren't ring chasing deals by any means so the evidence that it's a destination isn't there yet.

He's 4th down on the list.  I agree that it seems his name has been popping up more than anyone else's.

Yeah I see home now. Missed it first initial look. I think I am going to dig into this more. Maybe France looks for the money positions and players hence his haul (if you rep the QBs). 
 

it would be interesting to see Frances entire client list compared to Drews. Maybe a project for me in the future

Too many 3rd rounders.........that hurts round 4 value significantly.

It just means that now they're actually answering Buffalo's calls.

I'm trying to find similar data and there's not a lot out there that's easily sortable.  What's really interesting (to me) is that NFL Agents can't get any more than 3% commission.

 

I also don't know how much agents get from their clients' endorsements (I think Rosenhaus represents Gronk) and whether that is factored into the 3% cap.

That cap was recently established (in last 5-10 years I think too maybe with the new CBA). I think I remember something about agents Commission stuff maybe it was in the rookie wage scale agreement. 
 

Fo some reason historically I thought it was higher. And why players started looking at repping themselves during a trend awhile back.
