Janoris Jenkins "fired By Agent"

Janoris Jenkins is one of the biggest question marks in this year’s NFL draft. He’s undeniably talented — among the most talented cornerbacks in the draft — but off-field legal trouble, his dismissal from Florida and his four kids by three women are among the issues that have teams wondering if he’s more trouble than he’s worth.

And now there’s another issue with Jenkins:

The curious case of his changing agents.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with a player changing agents — plenty of good players do it every year. But Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel writes that Jenkins was fired by his agent, adding, “You've got to be pretty shady for agent to fire player.”

Jenkins may turn out to be a great NFL player, but if he’s trying to alleviate any worries teams have about his stability off the field, his agent switch is not a great way to do that.

This may drop Jenkins to us in the second round, but at this point would you take Jenkins if he fell to us in the second?

I'd like to know the exact reason why he was fired though.

Some agents don't feel like they make enough, so if it was because of payment then I don't really think it's that big of a deal.

I think I heard the agent that he parted ways with is big and well known. I think he is now with someone with less clients and can spend more time on him. To me if it was about disagreement over payment it almost would be more realistic if it was with the "smaller" agent. Who knows though.

If he's there in the 2nd, I would definitely take him. Not even a question. Jimmy Smith had off the field problems, and still went at the end of the 1st round last year, and Jenkins is a better pro prospect than Smith.

      It is like when you go to da buffet at da Golden Corral and dey have all dis food and you get the same thing every time.   There is probably something you would like more, but you go to da same ol racks and get da same ol food every time.  Not sure why I am writing in trailer park dialect, but hey, watcha gonna dooo.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.
