Janoris Jenkins "fired By Agent"

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

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?

Yeah read about this the other day. I first heard they parted ways but it's now being reported he was fired.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

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.

That's kind of weird if true. But if it's true, I'm sure more details will come out later, and, if that's the case, it will hurt his draft stock.

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.

Janoris in the second, yes please.

[jayflip]

If he's there in the 2nd, you nab him. Our 2nd round picks with a "clean" background have mainly fizzled out over the past decade anyways, so why not?

[EMSMedic79]

The Benagls will take him... they are the team of misfits and second chances.

[CPF4LIFE]

Hell yeah.in the 2nd round

[HeatCheck]

Hey they drafted Dunlap who slid because of "issues" and that has worked out well.

[The Special One]

Us fans would def take him in the 2nd round but I think our front office would not. You just can't trust this guy.

Besides, Detroit or Cincy will prob take him late in round1.

Wow leaves him 18 days before the draft.

[Argus Plexus]

Hope he falls to us
