This is ridiculous. Why does he feel he is completely powerless in what contract he gets? His love of money and his stubborn agent is greater than his love for football. This has nothing to do with "knowing the business" because he would've been in camp already if he had a different agent.
Yes, but they get guaranteed money within those contracts, which basically acts as the same thing. Besides, do you work under a guaranteed contract? I wish I did.
If there is a salary cap, then maybe the NFL would need to impose a deadline. There would be no point of waiting to sign, as they wouldn't gain anything by doing so. They just need to institute a rookie salary cap - it would fix a lot of the ills.
