As reported by Aaron Wilson at scout.com or FoxSports.com or MSN.com or something, word from Janoris Jenkins' agent is that negotiations with the Rams are going just fine. His representatives deny there was ever a promise made that Jenkins would hire a specific financial adviser, i.e. Jeff Fisher's personal money manager Lou Taylor. They also say that Jenkins has retained the Merrill Lynch financial adviser who helped get his child-support payments straightened out prior to the draft. Jenkins' agent also threw in that Jenkins has been a model citizen for the past year and a half and since getting to St. Louis, and fully expects to get a deal done soon.
From here, it looks like Jenkins has taken a responsible course in getting his financial affairs in order and has kept a professional with a reputable firm so things stay in order. If, as Jason Cole's report Friday seems to suggest, Fisher and the Rams don't trust him to the point that they're only happy baby-sitting him via Fisher's personal money manager, maybe they shouldn't have drafted him.
It's one of the rare times RamView agrees with an agent. Let's quit the posturing and get Jenkins under contract.
