Any good agent would be on it hard already. Any product that requires "catching" something hard will be a candidate for cash.



His client is locked into a 4 year contract with a team option for the 5th. Apart from endorsements, there isnt anything he can do.

You cant leverage it in the league. Now he could leverage it for endorsements.

OBJ is trending over a wider variety of entities then I have seen in a long time for a rookie football player. His agent is going to extremely busy over the next few months. Just because it wont be "contract related" doesnt mean he wont be leveraging the shite out of this moment

First off. He needs to call the glove company and get a commercial in the works.

If I'm ODB's agent I would try and get him booked at the Varsity.

If I'm OBJ's agent, I sit back and wait until after next year to negotiate. He doesn't have any leverage in the first year of a 3 year (4th team option) rookie contract.

pretty sure you cant renegotiate a rookie contract until like year 3


and even if you can, he has literally zero leverage, regardless of the catch

I don't know about national deals but playing in NYC he is probably going to get a ton of local endorsements that will be a good chunk of change.
