I say it's the league.

The reason being, guess who else didn't have a agent when he was playing Barry Sanders!

Barry only had a lawyer who looked over his contract to make sure everything was good, outside of that he never had a real agent.

The Lions fucked him over every time it came for him to have a contract, they made it the hardest thing in the world for him to deal with.

I believe it was cuz the lions are cheap and also due to the fact that Barry didn't have a traditional agent as it were.

I think it's a long-standing policy in the league do not deal honestly with the player who doesn't have a real agent. Again that is my opinion.

And your opinion is valid

OK just had a national figure verify my theory


From Jim Rome sports minute

Representatives and agents must be certified by the NFLPA

Click to expand...

But that makes it even MORE messy and incestous

So the NFLPA has to certify these guys

so IDEALY you would think they would have the PLAYERS best interests at heart

BUT we KNOW that is not always the case

because they make very valuable relationships with these GMS and execs (which is NEEDED)

But if Lamar is able to do this

HYPOTHETICALLY?

Imagine … why the hell you need a agent if you a QB?

You need a lawyer and a rep which the UNION provides.

Why pay an AGENT?

You know the pay scale

we ALL do.

When Joe Burrow says I want a guarantee contract PERIOD

What that GM gonna do?

Franchise tag him? Joe gets paid on EITHER tag.

Trade him? :lol:

So WHY does he NEED and agent?

Aint no negotiation going on.

Joe Chill gonna want MORE than Kyler - RIGHTFULLY SO!

And are the Bengal's DUMB enough to NOT pay THAT man guarantee money?

And then what about Herbert?

The list goes on.

sidebar: these running backs need to form like a sub union cause they getting screwed the f*ck over overall.

The trade speculation surrounding Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins rolls on with each passing day of the offseason. For many, it’s a matter of when not if Hopkins will be moved.
That naturally leads to the next question: where will Hopkins call home come Week 1?
ESPN NFL analyst Bill Barnwell took that thinking into account while taking a look at the best fits around the league for 10 free agents and two trade pieces.


When it came down to the No. 1 wideout, Barnwell found the Carolina Panthers as the most logical fit to acquire Hopkins’ services.
The price? A third-round pick in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft
In this deal, the Panthers would send the No. 93 selection to the Cardinals, who would pick up $10 million of Hopkins’ $19.5 million base salary in 2023. Carolina would also guarantee Hopkins’ $14.9 million salary for 2024, putting it on the hook for two years and $24.4 million.

Barnwell adds that Hopkins would not receive an extension from Carolina but would see his 2024 salary become fully guaranteed before becoming a free agent in 2025.
With Carolina on track to use the No. 1 overall pick on a quarterback, the move would give the incoming rookie a solid pair of hands alongside free-agent addition Adam Thielen.
On the Cardinals’ side of things, they would be left with a bill of $10 million in base salary agreed upon in the deal but pick up a third-rounder for their current rebuild.
The trade, though, would carry a dead money hit of $21 million in 2023 for the Cardinals since it would take place before June 1, per OverTheCap.com.
This isn’t a perfect deal for everyone involved, but he would get an additional year of guarantees, the Cardinals would unload salary and get a meaningful draft pick, and the Panthers would get two years of a WR1 at a cost well below market value.

Despite missing six games due to suspension and two more thanks to injury, Hopkins still paced Arizona behind 717 receiving yards. He was second in catches (64), touchdowns (three) and plays of at least 20 yards (eight).


If Hopkins were to be dealt, Arizona’s wide receivers room under coach Drew Terrell features Marquise Brown, Rondale Moore and Greg Dortch. Auden Tate and Javon Wims also signed futures deals this past January.

Could my lions be maneuvering to trade for Ed Oliver (the player they should have drafted over hockenson)


Click to expand...

I like Ed Oliver....but not at the price tag he's asking. Trading him and getting something of value is the way to go. Thought he may would be included in a supposed deal for DHop with AZ. Detroit would be a good fit for Oliver though. Best of luck to him and the Lions. Always liked the franchise... Our Great Lakes cousin.
