Former USC quarterback Matt Leinart has already called his first pre-draft audible by firing Leigh Steinberg as his agent, sources with the NFL Players Association told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
Leinart filed the necessary paperwork with the players' union on Monday, the sources said, and now has a five-day waiting period before he can hire another contract representative. Neither Leinart nor Steinberg could be reached for comment and the reason for the agent's dismissal was not immediately clear. Leinart is projected to be the first quarterback chosen in the NFL draft on April 29.
