We did nothing. He never called me.

They've turned down all our proposals. For Matt, it's probably the best thing. I just feel like the Vikings are making a big mistake.

If Denver does exercise the option, I would hope they'd give him the chance to catch 60, 70 balls and become a Pro Bowl-caliber tight end I know he can be.

He feels like he's put in his time and he's very flattered that they brought him in to be considered.

At this stage of the game, the agent becomes an advisor and big brother to the player. Charles is a good person and a good father ... You work harder for the clients you like.

I don't know if they'd do it, but I would. I wouldn't want $24 million locked up in one guy who is a knee injury away. They aren't going to take a quarterback, so their choice is Reggie Bush or a trade. And if they do decide to trade, there will be many teams who covet that pick.
