There aren’t many people more influential around the NFL than Drew Rosenhaus. The high-profile agent represents dozens of players in the league and has spent decades cultivating relationships with general managers, coaches, and personnel executives from coast to coast. So it’s interesting that he was spotted at New Orleans Saints training camp on Wednesday by Nola.com’s Luke Johnson.
It might mean nothing. Rosenhaus represents several players on the Saints’ roster, including star wideout Chris Olave, veteran receiver James Washington, and a couple of guys on injured reserve like Eno Benjamin and Trai Turner. Maybe he just showed up to support his clients and glad-hand members of New Orleans’ front office to maintain those business relationships.
But isn’t it more fun to speculate? Rosenhaus still has many clients searching for work in 2022, and one name who jumps off the list is linebacker Rashaan Evans. The former first-round pick posted a career-high 159 tackles in 17 starts with the Atlanta Falcons last year, and he could make sense for the Saints now that Anthony Barr is moving on to pursue other opportunities. Other players represented by Rosenhaus Sports still available to sign include safety Josh Jones and guard Andrew Norwell. It’s possible he stopped by to test the waters and see if any of his clients could have a good opportunity in New Orleans.
