Right tackle Bryant McKinnie changed his representation, signing with agent Drew Rosenhaus. McKinnie said he wanted to change "some things in my career, starting with my agent."...

..."It was down to him and the agency I signed with originally," McKinnie said. "I just watched (Rosenhaus) over the years get a lot of stuff done that I wanted to get done, so I wanted to see if they can do it with me."

McKinnie said he was referring to interests on and off the field, including music...

For some reason I am having a tough time picturing McKinnie cranking out some music.

see, you mis-understood the quote.
He's not cranking out some music, he's cranking bouncers on the head with poles TO some music.
Slight difference.

Does this mean contract renegotiations?

Why switch now with several years left on his contract? He signed a 7 year deal at the end of 2006.

I don't have a problem picturing that, makes more sense now.

The article in the STrib indicated that that was not the plan in switching.
Agents do have other responsibilities for their clients than just contracts.

That said - Rosenhaus makes me nervous.

I thought he was the left tackle.

my understanding from an email list is that Rosenhaus won't get paid anything until a new contract comes up, so I don't trust his motives
