Joe Burrow chooses CAA as his agency (1 Viewer)

[Saint Spud]

Tom Condon is the head of CAA

Condon is also Eli Manning’s agent. (Also Drew Brees).

So. Yeah.

 

[Get in the Carr]

So are you insinuating that he might pull off the same thing Eli did and demand where he goes in the draft?

No clue.

But if he were considering it, hiring someone who has successfully pulled it off before would be a pretty smart first step.

I would really be shocked if he pulled an Eli Manning. He has the chance to go be the hometown (I know he's actually from 3 hours away) hero with the Bengals.

Meh, top prospect chooses top agency to represent him. Wow, we've never seen that before.

[neurotik]

Lol in this gif Slater is the Chargers: "I know you, you're the agency that wouldn't let us have Eli."

Edit: and of course Wooderson is every team hoping to get Burrow

He hired Archie Manning?

Being an agent for rookies is a pretty easy job nowadays with the rookie wage scale. They make their real money getting them a 2nd deal.

IIRC, Joe Burrow is from Ohio. He may not mind being the catalyst that helps resurrect the Bengals.

He hired Archie Manning?

Ha. Nope. Common misconception based on Smith’s initial comments. Great article here.

“It comes down to Tom Condon, who at that time I called him ‘super agent,’” Smith said. “He’s like Scott Boras of baseball: prolific in their business, and they try to manipulate the system if they can. They’ve got great players, they have connections, and they can do certain things.“
