Terrell Owens, the legendary NFL wide receiver, is making headlines once again, this time off the field. At 50 years old, Owens has signed with SMAC Entertainment, the talent agency co-founded by NFL Hall of Famer Michael Strahan and Constance Schwartz-Morini.
SMAC Entertainment has quickly established itself as a powerhouse in sports and entertainment management. The agency represents a diverse roster of talent, including TV personalities Erin Andrews and Michael Strahan, as well as NFL stars Antonio Pierce, Stefon Diggs, Tony Gonzalez, and DK Metcalf.
The talent agency’s also extends to several high-profile college figures, including Colorado Buffaloes stars, making SMAC a key player in the college football landscape as well. Among these Buffaloes are head coach Deion Sanders, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, safety Shilo Sanders, two-way star Travis Hunter, and offensive tackle Jordan Seaton. These athletes represent the future of the sport, and Owens’ connection to this group could provide valuable opportunities for cross-promotion and collaboration.
Owens’ NFL career, which spanned from 1996 to 2010, was marked by impressive achievements. He amassed over 15,000 receiving yards, scored 153 touchdowns, and earned five First-Team All-Pro selections and six Pro Bowl appearances. His last NFL game was actually in 2010 with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Even while playing and after retiring from professional football, Owens has remained active in various ventures. He has appeared in movies and television shows, including “Any Given Sunday” and “Dysfunctional Friends,” and even had his own reality TV show, “The T.O. Show,” on VH1.
SMAC Entertainment’s mission extends beyond traditional talent management. The agency positions itself as a “cultural innovator and connector” that aims to help world-class talent achieve dynamic, fulfilling careers while creating content, experiences, and businesses that enact positive societal transformation.
Michael Strahan’s own post-NFL career success serves as a model for what Owens might achieve. Strahan has transitioned from a Super Bowl-winning defensive end to a multi-faceted media personality, hosting shows like FOX NFL Sunday, LIVE!, and Good Morning America. And in a remarkable achievement, Strahan became the tallest person to fly into space aboard Blue Origin NS-19 in December 2021.
Constance Schwartz-Morini, co-founder and CEO of SMAC Entertainment, expressed enthusiasm about Owens joining their roster: “We’re thrilled to add T.O. and Jordan to the SMAC family. They’re both at the top of their game and are setting the standards in their industry. T.O. and Jordan have already brought contagious energy to our team, and we’re excited to help them bring their visions for their careers in media, business and branding to life”.
Owens’ signing with SMAC Entertainment marks a significant transition in his post-NFL career. With the agency’s expertise in brand incubation and talent management, combined with Owens’ iconic status and vibrant personality, this partnership could lead to exciting new ventures in entertainment and business for the former NFL star.
As Owens embarks on this new chapter, it’s clear that his impact on the world of sports and entertainment is far from over. From breaking records on the field to now making power moves off it, Owens continues to redefine what it means to be a modern-day sports icon. His next act promises to be just as captivating as his legendary career on the gridiron, as he joins a star-studded lineup at SMAC that includes figures such as Shante Broadus, Brie Garcia, and Wiz Khalifa.
