ARLINGTON, Texas — After hiring Jay Z’s Roc Nation to represent him and hopefully help him become “an icon,” Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant said he is willing to discuss a contract extension during the season “if it’s right.”
That’s a change of policy for Bryant, who fired agent Eugene Parker recently. Bryant said this summer that he would cut off negotiations until the offseason if he didn’t reach an agreement with the Cowboys on a contract extension before the regular season started.

he serves Baphomet….
Not sure but definitely going to be interesting to see…….
I like the move not because iam a big Jay fan and a cowboy we saw what hova got Robinson Cano in seattle he about to get that paper for Dez and you know Jerry got it to give. Great move Dez.
Why not J is a business man and Dez want money
If we still talkin bout nation building?!then race is the ultimate of importance!! Example, the Arabs flip money 10xs, before it leaves their group! Same as whites, same as Asians! We the only ppl, that hate on each other, and wont spend money with each other.. white man water, is wetter than black man water, so we go spend with them!!
Brothas own brands/businesses but the problem is many times we expect or want more “just because”.!!! Like what Jason is saying about mentoring, white agents been doing this for years & so many brothas have gone bankrupt and no one says anything but expect jay z to do it… Another problem about Us supporting Us is white america won’t, example BEATS… NFL all of a sudden signs a contract with bose… is BS
I saw this coming a mile away.
Jason Jennings how important is race to you when doing business? if a black man owned these companies that blacks are rushing to buy from, would you celebrate them? what problems do we have from keeping the blacks from owning these products?

Currently, in the U.S., the largest consumers are the tweens (8-12). Better than 60% of goods are produced and marketed for this group. blacks make up 13% of the population so I doubt if they are the biggest consumers. plus in order to be the biggest you would hve to have continuous wealth coming in to continue spending. what kind of billions are blacks spending on their 8-12 yr olds?? 40 million new iPhones sold in 3 months and I bet the blacks purchas d about 4 million out of the 40. no way they purchased the majority of that

Black ppl,dont own any brands!! Thats why we all rush out to spend the lil money we do get ,on other cultures and buy up all their merchandise!! Blacks are the big consumer!! We buy all their bullshit!!
we do profit from a brand if you own the brand. Jordan profit from the prison system because he know folks are always going to go to prison. just like folks are investing in these casinos because they know folks are always going to gamble.
As long as he not messing dudes contacts up like Master P did Ricky Williams back in the day!
Take it a step further! Lock up the black man that murder another black man for them same damn shoes.,now they get a 2 for 1!!! Obe dead, one doin life!! # make it make sense…
Jason Jennings, Yea, Im wit u when u right. We done paid for our own incarceration
All we got is us! Never mind the brand! We profit nothing from a brand! Not money, most definitely not true knowledge and or information.example, Jordan, dude invested 200,000,000$into the Illinois correction system.. we all paid into it as well at least one time over the last 30years! #150$ a pop!
Jason Jennings I’m sure that’s one of the selling points he is using to get them to sign. Plus he has a of of connects w/Brands that’s can endorse them
Jason, I agree but why is it ok to go with a Bus Cook and get none of that???
Then the question is, do u sign with someone else, just because he doesn’t mentor, when 9x outta 10, that agent won’t mentor either. Although, I do believe it eould be a great idea to do so.
good point cuz…Jason Jennings….*just here for the comments*….
I was just wondering if this would help or hurt players. I see the Cowboys owner was mad at him for switching management in the middle of him signing his deal
If he dont mentor,and educate them in finance,and giving back, most of them will go broke in 5years any ways!
Jason, I agree we should but white agents never have and although I do agree it should be done, we can not make him do things other agents dont…
Me my self I would look in a different direction!! For someone who’s better qualified!! And there plate not as full
If u are in a position of power.,u are obligated to mentor!especially if you are black, and the constituents are black as well!! Its about nation building!
Right
Y not, as long as he looking out 4 the best interests of his clients, & aint hustlin these young brothas out they $$
Agents don’t mentor, they usually develop a team to do that but most leagues have it for their players
If he cant help mentor ,other black men in the music industry, trying to follow in his footsteps, how can he help athletes,if he never put on a helmet or cleets??
I think it is cool. No matter what, you have to have a team of attorney’s that specialize in sports, its just his. Even LBJ got into this, get it while you can
