I had nothing but good experiences working with Tim during my recent bout of free agency and really wish there were more people out there working to encourage players to make challenging demands of their teams regarding compensations.
As someone who was HO at that time we set up the agent rules, we just didnt care much for the idea of agents as a whole and decided to put the rules in such a way that it wouldnt be inviting to become one. Still dont care for them nowadays.

Tim u might be on to something, why not make an official position for agents, one that is connected to HO, basically someone to make sure agents are playing by the rules
my issue with the money thing is the bar is a little too high for someone to get into agency if they don’t have a player
I think things like team loyalty’s can be reworked into an agent can’t bring his clients into his team or something similar (this is off the top of my head)

If youre in the league for 5 seasons and are active then you'll have the money to cover a license. I just think that the $10 mill makes sure that the agents are people who understand the league and certain situations that someone who's been around say 3 seasons haven't experienced. 10 mill to me insures that an agent is going to be experienced and committed to the league.

I think what also factors into this is the fact that money simply isn’t that valuable in the league. It may take some time to get equipment, but once you’re just doing weekly training, it really doesn’t take much to get a decent bank account. After all, you get what, 800k weekly from just posting anything on twitter daily? If you write some media here and there while doing that, you’ll be set for a while. I get that not everyone has much time for that, but I think a lot of the league doesn’t have a problem with money. So why get an agent to get more money if there’s nothing else to spend it on? I might as well get a small contract and help my team
