Dez Bryant Drops Agent

[SportsGuru80]

A fool and his money are soon parted.

I predict he will be suing Roc Nation in the future.

Wrong... Jay-Z is getting player paid quite well.

This is nonsense. He wasn't going to sue this time until West forced his hand. The story about their embezzlement has been out for over a year.

I also think that while he is poorly educated, emotional, and not overly articulate he seems wiser to me than people give him credit for. The foolish mistake he made was trusting Senator West and his cronies. To his credit, Dez seems very aware of his limitations and doesn't front. He is extremely circumspect and thoughtful when he's talking to the media and when West and Wells had their smear campaign going he didn't make matter worse by opening his mouth.

It seems very obvious that he is willing to listen to people if he trusts them and if Roc Nation is giving him advice he is taking it. He's not pigheaded.

He will be broke within 2 years of his retirement. Mark it.

It's easy money when your product sells itself.

They are also going to take *HIS* money for a spin.

Doubt it, WME-IMG paid 4 billion for the UFC.

William Morris Endeavor and IMG are owned by multiple investment firms.
But not sure what money has to do with effect on Dez.

If IMG were putting Dez to work in Hollywood via it's WME connections we should have seen him in more film and tv stuff.
If they weren't perhaps that is what Roc Nation will do.

A lot of it may simply be coastal. Dez loves NY where Roc Nation is centered.

And not sure why people feel Dez will be broke other than assuming 25 year old Dez will be equivalent to 35 year old Dez.
That's a long time to change your circle of friends and your financial habits.

I don't, just an observation. I worry about him entertaining me for 4 quarters. Not 2 and a half because he has to take an IV!

You worry about another man entertaining you?

 

[erod]

Have any of Dez' business relationships lasted?

He seems to be the common denominator in all his problems with people.

 

[TheCount]

A lot of people in this thread talking crap about something they know absolutely nothing about beyond the headline.

I can't wait for football to start, good grief.

No. 53 of them.

 

[Sasquatch]

I could see Dez in a few years just like TO.

Broke.

But with a loving family of adorable animals to enrich his post-football life.

CAA and Tom Condon had a working agreement with Roc Nation to help them get their Sports division up and running when they didn't have any certified NFL agents. Dez was with Tom Condon before this deal and welcomed the partnership.......

A little over one year ago the partnership ended amicably as planned and everyone went their own way.....but Dez stayed with Condon when he did his 70m deal....he also had Kim Miale of Roc Sports repping him with endorsements and other matters.....now almost a year later he is officially parting ways with Condon, who keeps his commission, and is 100% with Roc Sports....it is all good and everyone is happy but David Wells and Royce West, Dez' former advisors

I think you're mistaking his protracted severance with West in Wells who clinged with some trend.

He is still with Nike and he is still with the Cowboys. He's never had any other endorsements.

 

[Risen Star]

For the love of God when will this end?

He caught his agent. The football move was firing him.

 

[HappyOnions]

I'm a big Dez Bryant fan...

However, the man has never been known for his intelligence. If Dez had a brain, he'd probably be the best WR in the league.

 

[adbutcher]

ROC Nation got KD a $300mil deal with Nike. They are doing very well for their clients. Not mad at Dez at all. Agents get canned everyday. This is a non-issue.

This. It seems that we have some fans wishing the worse for Dez.
