Takes a long time photoshopping and applying the right filters.  Before googling tax calculators

 

He was a restricted free agent, correct? Won't cost much.

But do you really?  I sign and write Multi Billion Dollar contracts.  No Agent.

 

The agent helps grind and maximize if you are a middle tier player.

 

IMO NO ROOKIE should have an agent at this point (slotted contracts) and Top Tier players can easily do this without one and save a %

So if he had an agent, he might have been picked higher than 32, earning him more money even after the agent %. You say you sign & write multi-billion dollar contacts? Is that your job? You must be a "middleman" for someone. GMs aren't blindly drafting guys high and signing guys to monster contracts without talking to an agent.

 

Thanks for all the updates, though. You have been doing a good job.

He was, so the fact the re-signed him instead of tendering him means this contract will be smaller than the low tender

First connection to Eckler I saw for Bills

 

 

 

I'm going to lose my mind if we are tied to one more RB... And, no, I do not care how many dumpoffs Ekeler caught from Herbert.

Defence Contracting. 

 

So yes In terms of the "work" I mentioned that.  But to actually negotiate a deal an Agent ISNT NEEDED

He is really dumb for this reason...no matter how "good" negotiations go, it sets up "bad blood" between the player and franchise because the player says "I think I am worth this" and then has to hear all the reasons(some of which may be true that he doesn't want to hear) about why the team thinks he isn't and is only worth this amount. Those are things he may "hear second hand" from his agent but he wouldn't be present for the conversations and the depths and details that would be presented so he would mostly stay immune to that.  There is a high probability this deal isn't getting done for this reason mainly.


100%. The agent protects him from all that.

to be honest there is ALOT of correct path forward in this tweet

 

Here are the Demands From GM Aaron

 

 

So if you are the Jets players like Moore and Wilson how are you feeling the future retiree is demanding players over you, and wasnt ONE the OROY?

Boy this market is moving slow. I'm not even talking about from the Bills. There are very few teams(Bears, Broncos) a couple others who have dipped heavily the rest of the teams are just saving and waiting for the market to come to them.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
