I get that.

Let's compare.

Kirk gets 35.5-36 of that (based on the 3% cited earlier). But he's got to deal with workouts, travel, practice, potential injury along the way.

Agent gets 1-1.5mill, and can do the same with a number of other players too, each and every offseason. so even if he only represents 25-30 players leaguewide, that guy is making just as much sitting on his butt in a comfy office (or home) as the guys that are doing the work to earn (or fail to earn) those guaranteed checks.

I'd rather be the agent every day of the week.

Agents have to continue to put in work too. They represent the player in all sorts of things like trying to get and negotiating endorsements, arranging public appearances, travel, and they have to listen to the player's gripes and give them advice on things football and non football related.

They take care of many things the player doesn't have time to take care of themselves.

An agent who just negotiated a contract then just sat on his hands wouldn't be in the business very long.
