I always thought that Scott Boras was about as bad is got when it came to sports agents, but Drew Rosenhaus seems to be giving Boras a run for his money.Now he's got Cowboys RB Marion Barber convinced that he's worth as big of a contract as LaDainian Tomlinson.
Cowboys, RB Barber $10 Million Apart
Calvin Watkins, Dallas Morning News
The Cowboys sent their latest offer to restricted free agent RB Marion Barber III with a price tag of $30 million. Barber and agent Drew Rosenhaus are seeking a deal worth $40-60 million, ie. Larry Johnson, Ladanian Tomlinson territory. The Cowboys are believed to be targeting the contract signed by Falcons RB Michael Turner, who has a six year, $34.5 million contract ($15 million guaranteed) in place. But sources said the team would be willing to give Barber a contract close to what Baltimore gave Willis McGahee last year (seven years, $40.12 million, including the final two years picked up).
If I remember that Sports Illustrated article correctly, Rosenhaus got his start hanging around the Miami Dolphins practice field, accosting players as they walked to their cars, promising them big things if they were to leave their current, though presumably more principled and ethical, agents. Dude sounds like Bob Sugar (Jay Mohr) from 'Jerry Maguire'.
Listen, Marion Barber is a nice player, but $60 million? If I can use my best Ahnuld accent for this, "Dat's a good vun..."---JohnnyU
