Today Roc Nation Sports made the big announcement that they signed Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant. Bryant is in the last year of his contract with Dallas and decided a change was needed, so he parted ways with Eugene Parker and joined Roc Nation. It’s reportedly a move that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doesn’t like.
via CBS Sports:
It’s the second time in Bryant’s five-year career that he’s parted ways with Parker. Parker was Bryant’s agent when the receiver came into the league in 2010 before being let go in December 2011 for Drew Rosenhaus. However, Bryant’s relationship with Rosenhaus didn’t last long and the Cowboys wide receiver rehired Parker in August 2012.
The move to Roc Nation could throw a wrench in Bryant’s upcoming contract negotiations. According to multiple reports, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones didn’t want Bryant to sign with Roc Nation and Jones will be ‘reluctant’ to do a deal with them.
If Bryant’s demands are too high, or Jones refuses to negotiate with Roc Nation, that doesn’t mean Bryant will be leaving Dallas. As former agent Joel Corry points out, the Cowboys have the option to franchise him for almost $13 million.
This isn’t the first time Jay Z’s agency has come under ridicule from the higher ups. Other big time agents have expressed disdain for the rapper entering the business. There were also people who felt like he didn’t know what he was doing and would fail like Master’s P’s No Limit Sports. So far he has done the exact opposite and the agency is very successful. I’m not sure what Jones’ specific issue with the agency is, but hopefully he’s able to get past it.
IM A DIE HARD DALLAS COWBOY FAN. AND I SERIOUSLY DONT WANT DEZ BRYANT TO LEAVE. HE IS THE TOP OF THE BEST OF THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN PLAY. IF JERRY JONES DOESNT WANT HIM TO LOOK ELSEWHERE. RENEW HIS CONTRACT, PLEASE.
Look I’m a Dez and Cowboys fan but if you think that about Dez you’re somewhat delusional
It’s is opinion. Maybe he’s only been watching for a few years? How do u know? So stfu and move along.
I really like u sticking up for that guy. Dez is a beast he may have had trouble w Peterson Sunday but deion shut almost everyone down too. Even mike Irvin had a lot of trouble along w rice. Dez is top 5 and deserves a number 1 contact he doesn’t get hurt and I’m of romo had played Peterson wouldn’t have looked like deions second coming
Dez is an amazing receiver, he is definitely top in the league. It would be a shame, a waste and and overall STUPID move to let him go
It’s always something with des Bryant .he s like a spoiled cry baby..
Hey how about we use proper Grammer and not sound like an idiot, sound good?
Maybe you should learn how to spell grammar before talking shit!!!!!!
How is he a cry baby for this fucking haters.
This isn’t about Dez it’s about Jerry jones Wht do he cares about who’s his agent he has to negotiate anyways
The last two years Dez has grown into a great example of an NFL player. You see him leading on the field, off the field, and even going onto the field when the D is on to stop trouble. He’s almost perfect now.
Totally agree!!!!!!!
You are aware that the agents and company partnered with roc nation who represent dez also represent romo and witten right? Lol do your research.
Romo and Witten are represented by C aa sports…moron.
hey chris, how about we spell “grammar” right.
” I’m not sure what Jones’ specific issue with the agency is, but hopefully he’s able to get past it.”
uhh, yeaaaaa….. probably not. white man want all the power over black man.
It has nothing to do with race you fucking idiot.
The problem is, Roc Nation could give a flying J if the team needs more cap space to sign other players as well to the team. (Cowboys) Roc Nation would be looking to get a Max deal! Only benefiting one player other then the team!. It’s a selfish move. Unacceptable. Im on Jerry Jones side. Dez didn’t need to sign to an agency that is just in the business to make money off of players, the other agency’s atleast had morale goods in there side. & if you don’t know who runs Roc Nation, look up Rocefeller.
pussy ass site, deleting the truth,
Dont care for Rocnation and I hope Dez gets franchised. He as much heart as Witten and Romo and he is younget
