Jay Z is always confident and making excellent business decisions. Jay Z's sports management company, Roc Nation Sports, just signed Dallas Cowboy's Wide receiver, Dez Bryant. This could prove to be another successful business endeavor for the rapper-turned-mogul. Bryant wants to be respected about his 10-year deal that averages $12 million per year and includes only 20 million in guaranteed money. Regardless of the deal, Jay Z was still at the Metlife Stadium to support Bryant during his game agianst the Giants.
Bryant is clearly doing something right to be drawing so much attention...and bringing in so much money. NBC reported on Bryant's possible deal, and the strife he is dealing with:
"[Initially] the Cowboys offered Bryant a 10-year, $114 million deal, with only $20 million guaranteed. Now, it appears the Cowboys have opted for hardball, launching a P.R. attack against Bryant and in turn making potential suitors think twice about pursuing Bryant, who would be far better off forcing the Cowboys to use the franchise tag on a year-to-year basis than accepting a deal that gives him some security up front but ties him to the team for as long as the team chooses to keep him.
Even with that said, it didn't stop Jay Z from turning out to support his new client. Also, according to TMZ it didn't hinder Bryant's ability:
"Jay Z hit up MetLife Stadium to watch his newest client, Dez Bryant, tear up the NY Giants...Jay's Roc Nation Sports just signed #88 ... and Dez couldn't be happier about it -- throwing up the Roc Nation sign after both of his touchdowns last night...Dez is reportedly gunning for one of the biggest contracts in NFL history ... something over the $100 million mark ... and after last night's performance, ya gotta think Jay's more confident than ever that he'll get it."
Honestly, if I was making as much money as Bryant, or even the lowest paid professional athlete for that matter, I would feel unaffected by someone playing hardball with me too. One has too think all those dollar signs and zeros would make a person thick-skinned. What do you think about the situation? What will #88 future look like?
