Danny Amendola’s agent scoffs at impact of Titus Young claim

The Rams’ low-risk waiver claim of wide receiver Titus Young isn’t the kind of move that impacts a team’s overall plans.

Specifically, it shouldn’t change the way they view negotiations with pending free agent wideout Danny Amendola, at least according to Amendola’s agent.

“I don’t think it affects Danny one bit,” agent Erik Burkhardt told Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “Titus Young isn’t anywhere in the same ZIP code as Danny as far as a player goes.

“I’m sure Young may disagree with that because he thinks he’s better than Calvin Johnson.”

Oh my.

Burkhardt should be careful about putting his client in harm’s way, because Young has already shown himself willing to punch a teammate.

So maybe if the Rams re-sign Amendola, he’ll be careful to tell Young that was the agent scorching him, and not reflective of his own thoughts.

Well this is Young's first test. He better suck it up and not say a word.

I'm guessing the agent is staking out a negotiating position for when they start arguing Amendola's possible future contract. I don't see any controversy at all. Just an agent trying to get the most he can for one of his players.

I wouldn't put it past the Rams organization to set something like that up.

Young doesnt even play the slot... I dont see what the big deal is?? He lines up outside the numbers for the most part.... Megatron lined up in the slot too, that doessnt make him a slot reciever. Looks like the agent is reaching here

Neither. That was Arte Johnson in Laughin.

The agent needs a lesson in public presentation. He is being provocative when he should be thinking of his client's position. The agent must have a size problem.

Still, it will be interesting to see if Young even gives this a second thought. Fisher will be watching...
