My gosh, people in the league are so fed up with his agent. And it’s none of my business, but it’s the same thing I said to Shemar Stewart last year: They work for you. I’m not gonna mention names, but his agent is one of the best in the business at representing players. And is a total pain in the ***, and people in the league hate him because he’s a pain in the *** and does a good job by his clients for the most part. But there are some things that occur during the process that I don’t think send a favorable message.”

The NFL are not used to people strong arming them like they have been doing to everyone else for 50+ years.

I see a lawsuit coming soon.

As much as I like him I am going to need him to blow the roof iff his pro day and get flying colors for the medicals after how it has played out thus far.

Who is his agent?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I don’t understand why folks are so bent outta shape with McCoy skipping the Combine. Dozens of players, especially top prospects, do it every year.

If I’m McCoy, I want all the extra time for rehab and training I can get. Teams that are interested can get his medicals. If he skips the Pro Day then you know he’s in trouble, but until he does that I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Agents need to be a thing of the past.

I don’t recall a year before this where so many did. It’s like they’re hiding ****.

At some point they need to have a standard Contract for all players drafted guaranteed, then they need an agent for that second, Third contract... none for rookie contract

Agents take care of the players business not just their football contracts but also negotiates endorsements, private engagements and all sorts of stuff to bring money in for them and their players

Well, the NFL doesn't need Jermond McCoy. He needs them. So, its an odd thing for an agent who has no real leverage in the case of McCoy acting like he does.

 

[zrinkill]

Well, the NFL doesn't need Jermond McCoy.

I mean I guess we will see if anyone signs him ....... if they do, I guess they decided they need him.

Teams act fed up with David Mulugheta also, but his players get paid well.

But thats got nothing to do with the Mulugheta. Any agent can get a great player paid. But this is different. McCoy is a college player coming off injury after missing an entire season of football. He then skips workouts at the combine. There is no leverage here. If he doesn't ball out at his pro day, he could easily drop out of round 1. His agents reputation for being a pain might also weigh on his draft stock.

Like I said ..... I guess we will see.
