YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal

I doubt it's personal. Some agents are better at certain aspects. Smart move IMO. Get to play behind Brees, raise his stock some on that alone. Next year, He needs an agent that will sell the sizzle as much as possible. Could even be traded mid season if a team is desperate.

He signed that deal almost 3 months ago. If he was that unhappy would have got another agent immediately...meh.

All he needs is more reps. He has absorbed as much as he could from Brees but needs the reps. People are underestimating him. His work ethics could be more than Brees if given the wheel. He only plays like 3 positions off of it. Imagine if he only focused all that on one.

Why would you get an agent immediately after you sign a contract?

Agents do a lot more than negotiate contracts. They handle things like endorsement deals, public relations, investments and general finances, ongoing communications with the league (fines, appeals, drug testing), monitoring supplements, etc. Contract negotiation is only one aspect of their job.

Not looking for a job description. It is the off season, during a pandemic, and this is Jameis Winston.

Joel Segal is in the cream of the crop of spots agents and Winston has no new agent as of yet.

I may have misread Beastmode's reply.

Honestly, Winston needs to "reinvent" himself. Perhaps he was not satisfied with Segal doing that. It's only been a few days since he fired Segal. I'm curious as to who he picks up and what that agent does to help get him relevant again.

I don't care who he picks I just don't see him as ever being relevant. You can't fix stupid.
