Rishard Matthews Hires Drew Rosenhaus

Free agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews hired Drew Rosenhaus to help him find a new team, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. Until now, the former Titan was serving as his own representative. 

After Matthews requested his release from the Titans, there may be a perception that he quit on his team, so it behooves him to partner with a power agent such as Rosenhaus. Rosenhaus claims that multiple teams are showing interest in his client and he says a deal could be just around the corner.

“I’ve been the leading receiver for two years,” Matthews said of the Titans. “Then all of a sudden I’m barely playing and not even starting. Using my injury as the scapegoat. Look at number of snaps and targets.”

It has been speculated that receiver-needy teams like the Cowboys, Patriots, Bills, Seahawks, and Cardinals would be logical destinations for Matthews. The Bills may be his most likely landing spot due to his relationship with Bills wide receivers coach Terry Robiskie, but it’s not clear whether they’re in the mix at this time.

Matthews recorded 945 receiving yards in his first year with Tennessee and had nearly 800 yards last season. In three games this year, however, Matthews had just three catches off of six targets.
