There is a very good reason they don't want the owners dealing directly with the players and have what they feel is a safeguard in place. Think some of these owners wouldn't get cute with that cap and do a workaround with the player? By having an agent in place, they lead the public to believe it's all on the up and up because if an agent does that he gets booted out.
Do you really think all of these owners abide by that cap? Think there aren't some side deals and just who would be policing that? Think all of these owners got the money to buy a team following the rules? Hell, they don't trust each other.
Excellent point....there's an out there about behind **** goes on before free agency. At least three agents talks they had deals in place for their players from other teams at a month before free agency started. What's crazy is they said the bulk of the contracts were done threw texting via third party, elevators at the owners' meetings and so so.
