Agent Drew Rosenhaus has a higher profile than some of the clients that he represents. He is unquestionably one of the premiere sports agents in the industry, and pretty routinely gets his clients record-setting deals. What he just helped to pull off with Antonio Brown, essentially forcing a trade and renegotiating an outstanding three-year contract, is pretty remarkable in and of itself.
For people like Rosenhaus, this is the future that he envisions for players—and, of course, for the agents who get the commissions on those contracts. He spoke to Rich Eisen yesterday about the build-up to the Brown trade and all that it entails yesterday and he laid out his beliefs about the future of player rights.
