Lito Sheppard Hires Drew Rosenhaus, Will Suposedly Show for Training Camp

Lito Sheppard is under contract to play for the Philadelphia Eagles through the 2008 season but that doesn't mean he's happy about it. In a move most Eagles fans surely cringe at, Lito has decided to replace his former agent with the much maligned Drew Rosenhaus.

Of course Rosenhaus is most remembered in Philadelphia with the dog and pony show he and his client Terrell Owens put on a few years ago. Terrell signed a nice, front-loaded contract with the Eagles when he came here from San Francisco by way of layover in Baltimore. But after a great season with the Birds in which Terrell performed valiantly in the Super Bowl, Owens felt he "out played" his contract. He and Drew wanted more money. The Eagles wanted nothing to do with it.

Now, Rosenhaus's name is back in the news and Lito Sheppard will likely want something. What exactly he and Rosenhaus plan to argue or fight for is unclear but Drew told a local paper that "it was clear he does not see this situation taking the tone of his representation of wideout Terrell Owens, which became extremely adversarial."

When talking with Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Inquirer today, Rosenhaus had this to say regarding Lito, ""I'm very optimistic, working with the Eagles, that we're going to find a mutually beneficial solution."

All of Lito's actions so far this off-season have been pointed towards him being slightly unhappy yet a team player. He reported for mandatory OTAs earlier in the summer but decided to stay home for optional practices.

We're hoping this situation with the star corner can end much more amicably than with Terrell.
