But many veterans have also ditching their agents for Rosenhaus and RSR.  If this keeps up, maybe the National Football League Players Association will eventually re-certify as Rosenhaus’ agency, since he will be representing the entire league (please take that in jest).

Ahmad Bradshaw recently changed over from Craig Domann of Domann & Pittman to Drew Rosenhaus, and now veteran offensive tackle Adam Goldberg of the St. Louis Rams has also signed with Rosenhaus.  My notes show that Goldberg used to be represented by Joe Linta.

Goldberg, the former undrafted free agent who played his college ball at Wyoming, would be a fan of our Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Ups if he knew about him (yes, Goldberg is Jewish).  He just finished playing through a 2-year, $1.8 million deal and will be using the services of Rosenhaus to get him a new contract once this Lockout goes away.

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (5/27/2010) from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

Our 2011 NFL Draft Rounds 1-7 Picks (Player/Agent) report has agent Joe Linta with 5 clients drafted in the 2011 Draft (a 2nd round, 4th round, 5th round, 6th round, and 7th round pick).  Linta is widely known as the representative of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco.  In Connecticut, he may soon be better known as Coach Linta.

In addition to representing professional football players through his company JL Sports, Linta has also picked up a job as the head coach of a private high school in Connecticut named Hamden Hall.  Linta has eight years prior experience coaching at Yale University.

Linta does not believe that the coaching job will take away from his work as an agent.  As he states,

“The slowest time of the year in representation business is August through October.  A lot of agents like to play golf.  This is what I like to do, sort of like a hobby.  I’ll probably spend the same number of hours a week doing this as they do playing golf.”

2011 NFL Draft Rounds 1-3 Picks (Player/Agent) from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

Happy Birthday to my mom, Gloria Heitner, who has to be the most amazing woman in the world.  New Orleans was a great time and Tulane put on a fantastic event.  Tomorrow, I will be speaking on a panel at the Nova Southeastern University Sports & Entertainment Law Symposium titled “Family Managing an Athlete’s Career.”  I will be able to discuss quite a bit regarding what I wrote in an upcoming Harvard Journal of Sports and Entertainment Law article titled, Closing the Cam Newton Loophole, a Sweeping Suggestion.  I have been attending quite a bit of hearings lately and taking a lot of depositions.  So I guess this is what life as a lawyer is all about.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

An All Football Wrap-Up

• Supposedly the largest deal ever given to an incoming NFL rookie [Under Armour Wins The Cam Newton Marketing Race].
• A look at what agents spend on their players leading up to the combine [$7.7 million spent on training rookie class].
• I’m not a big fan of this idea [Agent: Limit players to 16 games in proposed 18-game schedule].
• Includes quotes from Ralph Cindrich, Joe Linta, Peter Schaffer, and Eugene Parker [Agents don't expect much progress].
• This booklet has been sent out to all players [NFLPA Guide to the Lockout].
• Even though the league lost $32 million in 2009 and $45-50 million in 2010 [Huyghue: UFL plans to play, pay].
• So Oregon decides to let an agent off the hook at the same time it contemplates instituting a stricter athlete agent law? [Attorney general investigated agent-runner who paid former Oregon Ducks player]
• The comments are rather insightful [The NFL's Unfair Labor Practice Claim & Article LVIII(3)(A) of the CBA].

The 2010 NFL Draft Pick/Agent Selection Master List from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

Getting Flacco signed and in camp on time was essential if Flacco is to have any shot at winning a starting quarterback job. Last summer we witnessed Brady Quinn sit out more than 2 weeks due to a contract dispute. Not only did it set him back in regards to learning the offense, it may have cost him from ever stepping onto the field in a Browns uniform.

With Joe Flacco signed, there is now a realistic chance he wins the starting quarterback job. He will be competing against Kyle Boller and Troy Smith; neither of which have been able to establish themselves as a starting quarterback in the NFL.

The Brady Quinn contract debacle last summer was proof of how important it is to get a quarterback in camp on time. Sometimes it’s worth sacrificing a few dollars to ensure your client a shot at a starting position. The sooner Flacco wins the starting quarterback job, the sooner he will earn incentives and endorsement deals.

Linta, realized Flacco’s unique opportunity and did everything possible to give his client a shot at being the starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.

Before the draft, Forbes writer, Tom Van Riper, dug up some interesting information from the NFLPA: 23 separate agencies represented the first-round class in 2000. By 2007, that number was reduced by just one. This year, though, the number shrunk to just 18 agencies representing the 32 players projected to go in the first round by Scouts, Inc. CAA Football has five players, while Roanoke, Ind.-based Maximum Sports Management has four.

Scouts, Inc. was on the money. Eighteen agencies are listed above. CAA and Maximum Sports each got one more player selected than was hypothesized by the website. Is it a bad thing that only only eighteen agencies are represented among the top 31 picks or that two agencies combined account for one-third of the players taken in the First Round? It depends on who you ask.

CAA and Maximum Sports have been partying in their spare time (when they are not on the phone trying to hammer out fine details on each of their clients’ contracts), but smaller agencies are wondering what they can do to break into this tough industry, and more precisely, the toughest sport in the profession. Does it shock you that a large agency like Rosenhaus Sports Representation barely got a single player selected in the first round? Miami did have a terrible year, so that may explain it.

Industry consolidation can be a beautiful thing if you are either the agency that is eating up the competition or an agency that is bought out by one of the behemoths. If you are an agency stuck on the outside, do you start to become worried about your chances of breaking into the coveted First Round of the NFL Draft?
