Jon Beason: I gots to get paid, yo.

After realizing he's the best thing the Panthers have, Jon Beason has decided to insure he gets paid like it.

In a bit of news that's far more concerning to fans than team administration, there's a new Drew Rosenhaus client here.

Linebacker Jon Beason recently signed on with the super-agent, whose aggressive style has generated many critics. The Panthers have never been among them, as Rosenhaus is viewed as a straightforward negotiator, who can get big deals done quickly.

It'll be some time before Rosenhaus comes into play for Beason, anyway, since he's just one year into his five-year rookie deal. Beason was originally represented by agent Michael Huyghue, who is no longer certified by the NFLPA. Huyghue is getting out of the business to concentrate on his new job, as the commissioner of the fledgling UFL.

It's hardly a surprise Beason chose Rosenhaus, as the agent has a solid foothold with University of Miami players, including Beason's pal, workout partner and for-now teammate Dan Morgan.

When asked for comment, Jon Beason was quoted as saying, "Dolla dolla bills, ya'll."
