The National Football League states that an agent can't receive more than 3 percent of player salaries. work.chron.com/average-sports-agents-commission-21083.htmlNall, Pierce and Jefferson have been employed by NFL teams ever since leaving OSU. Another year here would have done nothing to improve their NFL status. They have a limited time to earn as a pro football player. They certainly made the right choice. Because everything is above the table when concerning agents. And... the contract rule is very general. The "3%" is for the agent's services, but does not exclude the agency providing other services outside of the agents' perview. Such extras are access to different marketing services, investment advisors, and legal advisors. Depending on the contract amount, and services you want (or are "included" to retain an agency) it can be anywhere from 6% to as high as 15%. A full service agency gets a "piece" of a player from many different angles outside of just representing a player for contract issues. It's a dirty little biz that they try to clean up with league licensing and oversight but players can be taken advantage of "legally" very easily.

Exactly, get a dozen or so guys and now you're bringing in millions of dollars.

I never question a running back making the jump as early as he can. You only have so many hits in your bones . . . you should get paid for as many as possible. This. People also seem to assume a player will improve their draft stock by staying, which is not a given. Throw in potential injury when staying and the amount of time and energy that goes into playing college football, and I really don’t spend much time second guessing a player’s decision to come out early -/ and I don’t think players do either. And not everyone loves the academic side of college. Most fans never played college sports and if they did, not at this level. And far fewer had any chance to play professionally. But far too many feel qualified to tell college players when and how they should pursue their dream of a pro career.
