Atlanta, Ga. —
Buffalo Sabres owner Terrence M. Pegula announced Dec. 6 that he had acquired France AllPro Athlete Management.
NFL player agent Todd France will remain as President and CEO of the company, whose name will not change. Additionally, the firm will add Bryan Ayrault, a certified NFL contract attorney formerly of Ayrault Sports Agency, backed by Pegula.
As one of the youngest and most successful NFL agents, France represents more than 50 NFL players including Ray Rice, Dwayne Bowe, Vernon Davis, Karlos Dansby, Takeo Spikes, Marcell Dareus and Prince Amukamara. France has also represented multiple first-round draft picks, negotiated over $1 billion in contracts, and received the Sports Business Journal's "Forty Under 40" award for the most promising sports executives in 2006.
In a press release, France said "Having the support of a professional sports organization owner as powerful and successful as Terry gives us unlimited potential for growth and new opportunities for our existing and future clients. My clients are more than just athletes, they are businessmen, and Terry, who is a member of the Forbes 400, gives my clients access to the ultimate businessman."
Pegula said in a press release that he looks forward to "joining forces" with France after years of competing against one another.
Pegula bought the NHL's Buffalo Sabres for $189 million in February 2011.
