Deal Closed: Jay Z Makes NFL Star Ndamukong Suh Throw Up The Roc

Weeks after buzz behind Jay Z and Detroit Lions star Ndamukong Suh coming close to a business relationship surfaced, new reports claim they have agreed to representation.

 

While details are still shaky, confirmation on their business ties emerged on Tuesday (February 11).

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who recently fired his agents, will be represented by Jay Z and Roc Nation for both contract negotiations and marketing, sources confirmed to ESPN. Ndamukong Suh’s reported alignment with Jay Z and Roc Nation offers an opportunity for both to capitalize on each other’s burgeoning success, Michael Rothstein writes. Suh represents Jay Z’s biggest football client, though Roc Nation Sports declined to comment on the Lions’ lineman Tuesday. (ESPN)
Reports last month claimed Suh had his eyes set on Team Jigga.

Per a league source, there’s a growing sense that Suh will select Jay Z, at a minimum for Suh’s off-field opportunities. It’s unclear whether Suh would hire Roc Nation for all purposes, or whether Suh would hire Jay Z for marketing and another agency to negotiate his football contract. Of Jay Z’s two current NFL clients, Giants receiver Victor Cruz is represented by CAA and Jets quarterback Geno Smith is represented by Kim Miale, who works for Jay Z’s firm. (Pro Football Talk)
