As you all, I am so glad we didn't pick up this kid. His plan all along was to fire his agent and hire the Pots_jerks...
In the future, we might even see teams want a rookie to sign a wavier decalring who their agent is, at least for one year, so this bait and switch can't happen. Prior to the draft.
If we had drafted this kid, then after the draft he switched agents to someone who we did not want to do business with...I would be real pissed if I was an owner.
After all, the agent and the player are a package deal. I would say, who is your agent, ok cool, we can deal with him, sign this waiver for one year. If you don't then we won't draft you.
Anyone who wouldn't sign, would to me say that this kid wants to screw with us and isn't a character guy we want anyhow. I would also put a crimp into some of the slimier agents out there too.
One of the reason is could work, is that if a players draft spot drops few slots, especially in the 1st round, can cost millions by slipping.
Now, you can all tell me why this won't work.
Be excellent to each other....
