Her latest joke: she negotiated a recording contract for quarterback Jalen Hurts.

When the last game of the Jalen Hurts season came to an end on February 13, the disappointment couldn’t have been greater. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback just lost the Super Bowl – the grand final in American football – at the age of 24.

But for Hurts, this defeat was worth it. And in the true sense of the word. The passer recently signed a new contract with his team. It is a working document that transcends all previous dimensions. But not only pain can be celebrated for the million dollar deal. It is also considered a Nicole Lynn masterpiece. The 34-year-old player agent disrupts the male-dominated football business and was instrumental in the mega deal with the Eagles quarterback.

“Have you chosen an agent yet?”

Jalen Hurts and Nicole Lynn started working together five years ago. Lynn wrote to the athlete, who was still playing in college, via Instagram. “Hey, have you picked an agent yet?”

It’s a kind of pearl diving, which Lynn tries to do with a short text message. Hurts is a promising talent at the moment. At this point, no one can say for sure if he would survive in the NFL pro league.

For Jalen Hurts, the dash should pay off. The Texan is considered one of the best players in his position today. The Philadelphia Eagles were therefore ready to gild the contract extension. Hurts will receive the equivalent of no less than 228 million francs for five years – more than 45.5 million per year. No player in the league has ever made such a deal. And no broker either.

Soccer player, softball player and a ballerina

“I know the world of cops in the NFL and all other sports is male dominated,” said Jalen Hurts, explaining his decision to work with Nicole Lynn as his advisor. “She knew what she was talking about. She was hungry And she was determined. And I feel that this determination never rests with her.”

As a lawyer, Nicole Lynn first tried her hand at Wall Street as an analyst. But she was never happy about it. Doing business with the sports stars is more satisfying. In addition to football players, the agent’s portfolio also includes softball players and a ballerina.

“The setbacks I experienced as a child certainly shaped my attitude as an adult,” Lynn writes on her website today. “I knew I wanted to escape this life and I had to work hard for it.”

But it’s not just her heritage that has shaped Lynn. Her gender also still requires her to make a special effort in the industry: “As a woman you always fight for a place at the table here. But when we finally get there, we feel like we shouldn’t be sitting at this table” , the agent explained in an interview in 2019.

Nicole Lynn has more than earned her place at the table. Players like Jalen Hurts are now taking advantage of that. And how!
