Terrell Owens has signed a lucrative deal with Michael Strahan’s talent agency.
Variety reports that the former 49ers wide receiver has been picked up by SMAC Entertainment, which is run by fellow NFL Hall of Famer Strahan and Constance Schwartz-Morini. The latter recently confirmed in a written statement: “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.”

According to its professional website, SMAC’s mission statement is: “SMAC Entertainment is a culture creator and connector that builds and guides multi-hyphenate, world-class talent towards dynamic and rewarding careers. SMAC also produces content and experiences and incubates businesses that inspire positive change in the world.”
And Owens joins an already talent-stacked roster in signing with the agency, including the likes of Erin Andrews, Shante Broadus, Stefon Diggs, Brie Garcia, and Wiz Khalifa to name a few. Outside of establishing his agency, Strahan, 53, has enjoyed an illustrious career in the worlds of both sport and television.
The defensive end spent 14 years with the New York Giants between 1993 and 2007, racking up several accolades and achievements. Strahan clinched a coveted Super Bowl ring as the Giants defeated the New England Patriots 17-14 at the XLII instalment of the competition, was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2001, was given honours in the NFL’s First Team All-Pro on four separate occasions, and is a two-time NFL Sacks Leader.

Strahan stepped away from the game in 2008, before joining the FOX NFL Sunday pregame show alongside Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long and Jimmy Johnson. However, he has also hosted LIVE! and Good Morning America over the years.
Strahan was back to breaking records in December 2021, when he became the tallest person to fly into space aboard the Blue Origin NS-19. He was given Astronaut Wings for the achievement, a badge created by the FAA to draw attention to commercial space flight.
Owens, 50, has also enjoyed an incredible sporting career in the NFL over the years, making his debut with the San Francisco 49ers in 1996, before going on to play for the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Allen Wranglers, Seattle Seahawks, FCF Zappers and the Knights of Degen.
For his efforts, Owens picked up five First Team All-Pro spots, six Pro Bowls, three NFL Receiving Touchdown Leader titles, was announced in the NFL’s 2000s All-Decade side, and was inducted into the 49ers Hall of Fame. It will be interesting to see where SMAC Entertainment takes him in the next chapter of his career.
