Bad News, Browns: Kellen Winslow Hires Drew Rosenhaus as His New Agent

Jun/16/07 11:43 AM Filed in: Kellen Winslow
In news that can't possibly be good for the Cleveland Browns, tight end Kellen Winslow has hired Drew Rosenhaus as his new agent, Pro Football Talk is reporting.
Rosenhaus is the best-known player agent in the NFL, and he's well known in large part because his clients so often demand more money. Several players who have fired their previous agents and hired Rosenhaus have then had disruptive contract disputes, most famously Terrell Owens with the Philadelphia Eagles.

That doesn't mean Winslow will have a disruptive contract dispute, but Rosenhaus won't get a percentage of Winslow's paycheck unless he gets Winslow a new contract, so it stands to reason that Rosenhaus wants to get Winslow a new contract.

Would the Browns consider it? It's tough to say. Winslow has been a good tight end when he's gotten on the field, but the knee he injured in a motorcycle crash after his rookie year will never be 100 percent. The team will most likely tell Winslow he needs to wait a while before they'd consider a new deal. And Rosenhaus clients aren't known for their patience.
