TimKrumrieFan Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Funniest thing about trust the least is if you sign a deal with the Bengals you are seeing almost all of it. The Bengals are one of the top teams I'd trust the most but I would also go in knowing I don't expect to be a market setter at my position.

That's always been the party line around here but when agents are rating you dead last there's probably a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like saying "Wife says she can't trust me, but I've always paid my hookers." Trust also means that when you tell your client to go interview with the Bengals they're not going to ask a 300 pound man to fly coach. Trust means that they're going to come back with a fair offer to a guy who just spent a few days flying across country to work out for you. Reid was surprised that Mike Brown came after him like that during the interview... Do you think that wasn't discussed with the agent? Sure, maybe Reid's a dumbass for not expecting it, but Mike and Katie would be similar dumbasses to have the guy come out and interview without discussing it with his agent first. A lot of time was wasted kicking tires on a guy when the decision came down to one question that could have been asked over the phone. 11 hours ago, kennethmw said: That's like saying "Cockroaches dislike homes that use raid."

Now, let's argue about why agents all suck so they must be wrong. I mean, sure, the Brown family is the worst, but it's not like they're the "worst". These guys are just intimidated by the effect of our contract negotiation "Raid" against their little cockroach selves. Heck, they don't like us because they FEAR us.... Yeah, I like the sound of that! Every player in the league wants to come here, but the agents fear Katie's mojo. Seriously... The Bengals have the best front office in the league.

Inigo Montoya Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Mike Brown is a world class piece of shit who operates his franchise in the kind of chintzy manner you would expect from someone with his reputation. That's not exactly breaking news. Nor is it breaking news that most agents are also slimy whores. I laughed at their complaint about the rookie wage scale. No more holdouts and no more insane contracts for unproven rookies. How terrible for the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think they ranked the Bengals dead last? Because the Bengals don't play the "Funny Money" game. They like teams that are going to show these "huge Guaranteed Deals", and Deals with "Third Day after Season starts" bonuses. They generally get 3-4 percent of the bonus amount which gets paid lump sum, instead of 3-4 percent of the check every week. And Even if the "Guarantee" is only partially full, nobody reports the difference, so its a selling tool. If I was an Agent, I wouldn't like them either!

Agents dont look as good to players with Bengals deals. Agents only like ppl who make them look good. Haynesworth didn't see much of his 100 mill contract but the agent can state he got a DT 100+ mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
