Peppers update from nfl.com

Rosenhaus snatches up all the Miami players. And when it's contract time for Beason, look for drew to hold him out and put unneccessary pressure on Panther brass.

[Scrumtrilescent]

The Panthers FO has a very good relationship with Rosenhaus. Never had problems with Morgan during contract negotiations. Or Lewis.

I will hand it to Hurney, he never has problems with the problem children agents. I don't even think they had problems signing Gamble as a rookie when he had the dreaded Postons.

say what you will about rosenhaus being a prick (it's true) but the postons are horrible and shady. you don't hear too much about them anymore but i guess carl poston's 2 year suspension is up.

[Fireball77]

Yes I agree Rayzor, the Postons were shady. I am not even sure they are still agents and yes Carl's suspension should be up now.

[Mr. Scot]

I'd agree the Postons were worse than Rosenhaus because they were primarily NBA agents. Their perspectives were skewed by the size of the NBA contracts, and they never seemed to quite get that the NFL cap is a hard and fast rule.

Right now though, you could make a pretty good argument for Bus Cook being a bigger prick than Drew Rosenhaus.

Rosenhaus has most certainly been known to capitalize on player discontent, but I can't recall there being evidence that he's actually caused it. Cook, on the other hand, seems to be a little more "active" in the Favre and Cutler situations.

Add in that players regularly flock to Rosenhaus, but Cook is losing business. That's been a theory as to why he's agitating the Cutler situation, because it's the only potential big score he's got this offseason.

[rayzor]

bus cook is making that situation much worse. the primary focus of agents are to get as many clients as possible. more clients...more money. the way you get more clients is to get more attention. to get more attention you have to get your clients embroiled in some conflict with their team and get yourself seen as the person trying to get their clients away from their evil teams. if you can make yourself to be a hero for the player then you will have others looking to make you their champion. without drama, none of this is going to happen. this year was going to be a slow one for him so he acted on one of his clients insecurities and created that drama.

no way do i want a player that can be manipulated like that and no way do i want the panthers to deal with an agent like that. there is no security when you have bus cook as an agent for your QB.
