Perennial Sports and Entertainment Solidifies Status as Top Sports Agency
WASHINGTON, June 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 3, 2015, Perennial Sports and Entertainment client Cam Newton signed a $118 million mega deal with the Carolina Panthers, the richest in team history with a total of $60 million guaranteed. Perennial's NFL Agents Tony Paige and Chitta Mallik negotiated Newton's landmark deal which includes $67.6 million in the first three years, the highest three-year payout in NFL history. Founded by Lamell McMorris, the DC-based agency continues to grow its roster with the nation's top NFL and NBA athletes.
Newton's deal comes on the heels of Perennial's highly successful 2015 NFL Draft where client Stephone Anthony, a standout linebacker out of Clemson, was selected in the first-round by the New Orleans Saints. Utah's Eric Rowe, also new to Perennial's portfolio, was taken in the second-round by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Perennial's Basketball Division continues to grow as well with Jordan Adams out of UCLA being selected in the first-round of the 2014 NBA Draft. Additionally, Perennial's NBA Agent, Wallace Prather recently signed Lou Williams, the NBA's 2014-2015 Sixth Man of the Year.
"At Perennial Sports and Entertainment, we have the honor and privilege of working with some of the most talented and humble young men in both the NFL and NBA," McMorris said. "The emphasis on our clients leveraging their current athletic achievements to make a positive and lasting impact on the community is what makes us truly proud."
Perennial continues to support its clients in their local charitable endeavors. Specifically, Perennial is a sponsor of this weekend's Kids Rock! Gala, which will raise funds for the Cam Newton Foundation's initiatives to improve education, promote a healthy lifestyle for kids and give back to those in need in the Charlotte, N.C. and Atlanta communities.
