Beginning in 2012, JR will operate all of his representation services under JR Sports Enterprises LLC and will only be associated with one firm, Peter Schaffer's Authentic Athletix. Rickert and Schaffer faced legal challenges from many of their former partners. Rickert was named in 3 separate lawsuits, all of which were settled by September 2012. Rickert and Schaffer have emerged stronger than ever from the legal challenges and were recently named Top 10 Agents in the NFL by "Inside the League." In 2013, Rickert branded his new "Team JR" representation team. Today, the team includes longtime Rickert associates Jared Fortier and Osiris Walcott. It also includes football division director, Jacoby Hudson, entertainment director, Jamell Romeo, client manager & boxing director, Cleveland "Fly As Day" Jones. Attorney Lou Lecce continues to serve as General Counsel of Team JR. Success in NFL free agency In 2010 Rickert successfully negotiated more NFL free agent contracts than any other NFL agent, most notably that of Joshua Cribbs of the Cleveland Browns, which was made famous by Deion Sanders on NFL Network when he on air began to refer to Cribbs as "Pay The Man". He also negotiated contracts for Lorenzo Alexander, Artis Hicks, Rex Hadnot, and Matt Ware in the 2010 free agency period. In 2011 Rickert negotiated free agent contracts for Kevin Burnett with the Miami Dolphins and Josh Portis with the Seattle Seahawks. During the 2012 free agency period, he negotiated a 2-year deal for Jordan Babineaux with the Tennessee Titans and a one-year for Artis Hicks with the Miami Dolphins.
