Man, I have no clue like Dez getting that deal was a big deal considering all the negative press he had coming into the draft and he was already co starring in UA commercials. Dez changed his story and the Under Armour thing at first was their cleats were uncomfortable (but never relaying that to UA and just started appearing in Nikes) and after Deion stopped talking to Dez, Dez said Sanders was getting kickbacks from UA for the deal and since UA dropped Dez Sanders didn't get that check. Although......
Dez did end up signing with Jordan Brand sometime later tho so I guess it work out in the end. Although........
MJ had Dez in a 3 year 'good faith' endorsement deal and Dez didn't get paid the first year of it and the contract would have been voided if he got into any trouble and Dez credit's MJ for making him the mature man he is today. I never figured out the dollars involved to see if the JB deal was better than the 15 million deal UA was giving him but atleast JB cleats aren't hurting his feet. Although........
Dez was again wearing Nikes today.....
That Jordan deal is what kinda led up towards today.
Dumbass Dez did that Jordan deal without letting Eugene Parker negotiate for him. Jordan Brand basically got over on Dez.
