Agents

[stirs]

If the new CBA has a rookie salary cap for first rounders, how far would it go?

I have heard that they would all be 4 year deals. If the money and years are set......If so, what need would first rounders have of an agent? Why pay those guys anything? Just get one in the final year of your first contract.

What am i missing? I know to do this. you would have to be sure of your first round status.

This new rookie salary cap will also mean more trades and don't expect the Panthers to pick until their full time on the clock is up. Nobody will be having to work a week ahead of time on the agent to see if the first pick can be signed any longer. So, just because you don't hear of a trade a week out, does not mean one will not happen.

The agents get them endorsement deals, and handle PR.

Sure, i understand that, but would it be wise for someone like Peterson to just hire an agent to handle is endorsements and if he did a good job on those, hire him in 3 1/2 years to negotiate his second contract for football.

I would not want to pay an agent for something they have had no input or bearing on.

I'm not sure if there are specific numbers out there (may be, but I couldn't tell you where).
