This makes complete sense to me. He wants an NFL career AND wants to be a rapper, so who better than Hov to rep him?!
Eagles receiver fired his agent Drew Rosenhaus and could be the next to sign with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports.
Details after the jump….
Via Dan Hanzus at NFL.com:
NFL.com’s Albert Breer reported Sunday that Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson has fired agent Drew Rosenhaus, and The Philadelphia Inquirer, CSNPhilly.com and USA Today allreported that Jackson could sign with Roc Nation Sports.
Landing New York Yankees star Robinson Cano was the firm’s first major score. New York Jets rookie Geno Smithbecame Roc Nation’s first high-profile NFL client last month.
The Smith signing didn’t come without controversy. Breer reported last week that the NFL Players Association sent a letter of inquiry concerning Jay-Z’s involvement in the recruitment of Smith to Roc Nation agent Kim Miale.
Agents are prohibited from having colleagues or friends who aren’t NFLPA-certified agents present for recruiting meetings. Smith has denied the rapper was involved in the courtship.
Jackson is in a holding process during the five-day waiting period that comes with an agent dismissal. After that, Jackson can search for new representation.
According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, Jackson is expected to wait some time before he hires an agent, and he has not met with any agencies yet. His original thought was to go without an agent, but that may change as he is now being pursued aggressively. He is mulling his options.
