Tags is gonna have to put a hit out on Rosenhaus soon. :deion
i think he should just apply for a franchise, move all his clients there, then he can pay all of his clients a bajillion dollars.
this guy makes me laugh
Are the Dolphins still for sale?
I think market forces will deal with this pinhead. If he becomes impossible to deal with, teams will become reluctant to draft his clients, pushing them down in salary.
Or, as in The Last Boy Scout, "I think it'll be cheaper just to kill that son-of-a-bitch."

I heard during the draft that none of his clients were drafted in the first three rounds.
You heard a Howard Eskin fabrication. BigEd has already noted two 2nd rounders (Roscoe Parrish, Dan Cody) that are Rosenhaus clients.
Wasn't Cody originally predicted to be a first rounder?
Ya know, if there's one guy I'd think about replacing Owens with, it'd be Walker. :evil
GET WALKER!
They liked him out of FSU a few years ago.
But I think the thought of dealing with another Rosenhaus WR client would cause Joe Banner to chow down on a few bottles of Maalox.

Well remember he's not only the agent shark, he's a lawyer he'd probably make a case against the league claiming collusion.
I had no clue that Cody was a client of Rosenhaus, that makes me extra happy that the Eagles did pass on him. Anyone know where to find a list of his clients in the NFL?
And about Javon Walker, I think unlike the other guys, he has a case usually guys on their rookie contracts get an extension pounded out when they out perform their contract, and he's gotten better every year of his deal. The Packers are pretty stupid to not secure his rights for a few more years.
Favre speaks against Walker (http://www.packersnews.com/archives/news/pack_20876863.shtml)
I agree with the Saint, but Ja$von won't be showin his face in Wisconsin after the Lord and Savior called him out.
Good for Favre. That earned him an extra blow from Madden and Theisman.
So how many "trade TO for Walker" threads are going around the EMB right now?
I don't want to know.
That's crazy talk.......Simon for Walker. 8)

QuoteVikings | Sharper Bites Back at Favre - from www.KFFL.com
Wed, 4 May 2005 20:47:16 -0700
Bob Wolfley, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Minnesota Vikings S Darren Sharper strongly criticized Green Bay Packers QB Brett Favre for sticking his nose into WR Javon Walker's contract dispute. Sharper said Favre's words would carry "no weight" with another player on the Packers. Sharper said Walker is now a Pro Bowl player and will do what he wants. "What's going on with the minicamps and whether or not Javon's there - Brett wasn't at minicamp so it really doesn't make a difference who is there," said Sharper. "He wasn't there, so he shouldn't have anything to say about Javon not being there." Sharper made his comments during an interview on Sirius Satellite Radio on the "The Afternoon Blitz" show.
How dare Darren Sharper speak against St. Brett. Now Madden and Leg will rip him :-D
intersting read about Rosenhaus, also has a list of all of his clients: link (http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_2722838)
Quote"Let me make this clear: There is no tactic," Rosenhaus said last week. "And I really don't think there is a story here. This is the offseason. This is when you are involved in contract issues. So I would tell everyone to relax and we'll see what happens when we get to the real deal."
Yeah, and I'm 7'2 and starting for the Chicago Bulls next year.

QuoteDroughns said: "It doesn't make me nervous, because I'm in a different category than those guys are. I'm not looking for those types of dollars. I just know that I've got a guy who is working as hard as he can for me."
this is the part i do not get. how can he work as hard as he can for droughns, when he has to tend to 90 other players at the same time?
wouldnt logic state, than a good agent with 10 clients can work harder for you than a good agent with 90 clients?
it's been said that rosenhaus will use one player against another, in saying that "give player A this, and in return we'll make it easy for you to resign player B"
i dont see how he works in the best interest in all of these clients. he has to short change one in favor of another. i wonder how Jerome McDougle felt when rosenhause got Jevon Kearse on the eagles at HIS position, effectively taking money from Jerome (seeing that the eagles put certian value at positions)?
Two words: interns

Jesus. This is a disgrace.
Are the Titans even going to be able to field a team this year with all these holdouts?
Rosenhaus is Tra Thomas's agent? Uh-oh. :-X
Walker has no hard feelings on Favre's comments about his holdout (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-packers-walker&prov=ap&type=lgns)
Quote
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Green Bay Packers receiver Javon Walker has no hard feelings toward Brett Favre, who criticized him for holding out of a mandatory minicamp last month.
Even though Walker has two years left on the contract he signed as a first-round draft pick in 2002, he wants a new deal after a breakout 2004. Walker had 89 catches for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns and was selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time last season.
Walker said Saturday he is unsure whether he will be at the Packers next minicamp in June, but is confident that he and the Packers can work out a deal before training camp begins in July.
``I consider myself one of the best,'' said Walker, who made his comments before participating in a charity softball game at Miller Park. ``I'm comfortable with my talent, to where if I did get a contract extension or whatnot, or renegotiation, I would live up to the ability of what they would give me.''
So, just to make sure I got all this straight,
Mr. "I'm not honoring my contract" has said that if he gets a new one, he'll honor
THAT one? Something smells rosenishy.......

Interesting readers comment in TMQ:
FED UP WITH T.O.? JOIN TOD'S CLUB. From Tod D., of Wilmington, Del.: "I'm an Eagles fan and I am extremely disappointed with how the whole Terrell Owens fiasco is turning out. I think T.O. has really missed the point -- he could have easily turned his Super Bowl, team-player image into millions in endorsements. That said, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has to bear a share of the responsibility for this mess. Is there any precedent for teams refusing to deal with a certain agent? Do you think teams should begin to adopt that kind of stance?''
They won't admit it, but in my mind there's no question that some teams grade a prospect lower if, for instance, he has the Postons for agents. Teams think of Poston clients as almost automatic holdouts, like baseball teams who fear agent Scott Boras. I'm not saying some teams wouldn't take a Poston client, but it would be a definite factor in their decision whether to draft one of their men. And it should be. If you know a rookie probably isn't going to be in camp on time, you have to ask yourself if the player is so much better than another player who you can be fairly sure will be there when he's supposed to.
Now Rosenturd has Najeh Davenport and he wants a new deal too. Maybe its good the birds didnt get him.

Javon luvs him sum KWII.
He's a warrior.
So he equates playing football for several million a year to evading death in Iraq for tens of thousands a year?
Interesting. He can die a horrible, painful death, preferably sooner than later.

Walker is retarded. I can't imagine the lashback TO would get if he made a comment like that..which reminds me, where are the headlines about this??
Let's equate football to real life. Based on one good year's performance, would your employer invest a significant amount of money & promote you, knowing that the money spent on you, kept others from getting a raise (or hiring addtional employees) & would create a precedent for all other one-year performers?

If TO said it then he would be crucified.
But since a lovable Green Bay Packer said it -- well that just means that the media hacks will slurp all over Brett Favre some more and say that he's such a leader that he'll go talk to Javon and tell him to be a good boy.
lol Phreak. Its so true.

Rosenpenis not going to hold Edge out of camp (http://x.go.com/cgi/x.pl?goto=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?id=2117408&name=FPT-2117408-072711&srvc=sz)
Javon Walker, per KFFL report, is going to be reporting to camp. And the Packers share-holders have told Ted Thompson to not give into Drew & Jevon. :-D
Way to stand pat on that hold-out, Drew.
Okay, so now Walker and Edge have both reported to camp. What is the deal?? Is this some ploy by Rosenhaus? Is he going to have all his potential holdout players report to camp and then disappear five days in or what? I'm definitely curious. I mean they were so adamant about holding out and now they just give in? Very fishy!
Maybe Rosenhaus' cyborg half life is up and he is decomposing from the inside out.
One can hope.
On another note, Edge says he won't go to Japan for the preseason game.
QuoteTom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports talk within the Green Bay Packers is that WR Javon Walker might drop Drew Rosenhaus as an agent, but so far the NFL Players Association has received no termination papers and neither Walker nor Rosenhaus was available for comment.
He's gonna need to have all of the good feelings he can generate from teams if he wants to get any kind of contract once he returns.
