Drew Rosenhaus Quotations

We're in a legal proceeding with the players' association and the Eagles and the management council. We hope it doesn't come to that. I certainly hope, as a result of this, we'll hear from the Eagles and they'll welcome him back.

We're still discussing a few things. But we're very close. It will be a great fit for Duane, and it will be a great fit for New England.

There are players in the N.F.L. who are arrested, who violate the program when it comes to drug or substance abuse, and they are not punished as seriously as he has been. A lot of his teammates believe in him. He needs to be playing football. We are concentrating exclusively on Terrell playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, A.S.A.P. He'd like to practice tomorrow.

The Cowboys were the best fit, the most logical choice. It's going to be a match made in heaven.

Let me assure you, he will be playing in the future. He will be dominant. There are a lot of people in the NFL who respect him. He wants to be an Eagle. But do not write him off.

He is here to make sure, on the record, that people realize that he is sorry, he wants to play football, he is a great person. I believe in him, there are a lot of his teammates that believe in him. He needs to be playing.

He doesn't feel like talking to anyone right now. He just wants to concentrate on football.

We're pretty far apart; there's a big difference of opinion in respect to what the two sides think this contract should be.

There is an appeal process so you can't write him off right away.

He wants to play football for the Philadelphia Eagles. He wants to play right away.

There are the intangibles when you pick a guy in the draft because (a team) is accountable for that player. Whoever takes Eric is going to sleep at night not worrying about how this is going to look on their track record.

It doesn't happen overnight. Terrell understands that. But we have a plan and will stick to it. We're confident that at the end of the day he'll be happy.

Mike had been looking for a new contract and really had endured a lot of unfair criticism for holding out in Green Bay and a lot of people questioned his decision. He got the last laugh. In effect, he got traded and he got the new contact that he wanted. For those people that were knocking and ridiculing him for holding out and questioning his logic, he landed with the team that he was real excited about playing for and he landed a contract that he felt comfortable with and pays him like the elite corners in the league.

We hope he plays again for the Philadelphia Eagles,

Those guys made him comfortable. We were able to work out a deal quickly, literally within 24 hours, which is unique.

We had a productive meeting. We talked about things important to us, and they talked about things important to them.

Ideally, I would like to be in a position where I represent 100 guys in the NFL, to be in a position where I could control whether some teams win or lose.

You have to credit the Giants for extending Jeremy's contract. The Giants just felt that he deserved it.

We had a chance to visit Mike Brown today and he said it was important to him that Chad finish his career as a Bengal.

We've had a lot of guys I represent sign there and they've all had good experiences. The Giants are a good team that just won their division and they're located close to his home (in South Florida). Sam is pretty fired up that he's heading to the Big Apple.

There shouldn't be a negative reaction to Terrell from the fans. He didn't miss any practices. He didn't miss any games.

It was very emotional for her, just to hear from me that Willis is playing football again. I called her and said, 'Guess what I'm watching? Willis is playing football for the Buffalo Bills.' It's been a long time, and it was just great to see him back scoring touchdowns, and to be able to describe them to her.

Terrell is a great person, and he is here again today to make sure that everyone understands that he is making an apology, ... People obviously didn't accept the first one. That's unfortunate. That's not Terrell's fault.

Terrell has received a lot of criticism, in my opinion unfairly,

People think all of our deals are loud and obviously they're not. You have to credit the Giants for extending Jeremy's contract. The Giants just felt that he deserved it.

People think all of our deals are loud and, obviously, they're not,

This is a major development, so I will be contacting teams again and expecting to get something done relatively soon. I will talk to the Dolphins again and, as I did before, I will pretty much talk to every team that needs a running back.

You can't look at this in a microscopic way. You've got to look at the big picture.

They're a team that really needs help at the receiver position. There's an opportunity there for Peter to come in and contribute right away.

It's not really something I can make any predictions on.

Dan is a very loyal guy. When he hired me, he explained to me that his goal was to get a contract extension done and remain with the Panthers.

It's something we've been working on for over a year, and Chad has been very patient and went about this the right way. There was nothing negative, he never missed any time.

It's very unlikely he would ever play again or anyone would take a chance on him again.

They were an excellent team last year. It's a chance to go to a contender and an opportunity to be a starter.

Nothing was intentional ever. He agreed with the statement. He did not come out and try and offend anyone. There was no intent, there was no malicious intent.

The new money average makes him the highest-paid receiver in the history of the game.

It's really a great situation for Randy -- it's a strong contract, it's good for the team and it keeps him out of free agency. Everybody wins.

But I'm not on a mission to overhaul the system in the NFL, ... I'm just trying to do the best job I can possibly do for my clients.

He's meeting with the Giants, and that's all I can say.

The guy's just a winner. The guy has overcome a lot of adversity, he changed positions in college and overcame the knee injury and now it's stronger than before that injury. He's done everything that's been asked of him.

The line of communication is there. It's still a possibility. But at this point we're going to talk to some other teams and take some visits and go from there. I expect a lot of interest in Justin.
