Reply to comment by sgtcarrot in Ravens designate QB Lamar Jackson with non-exclusive franchise tag by Cody_in_Baltimore
He’s leaving so much money on the table by not having an agent. He could have used the past several years to really build his brand and segue that into endorsements. He should have been appearing in commercials, have an expansive line of apparel of some kind, etc. This would have all been easy to get going after the MVP season. And all of it is easier money than playing football. Instead he’s trying to make his money through potentially unrealistic contract asks. In his quest to save 3% he’s probably passing up on 50%.

Good points and also he’s being used as a pawn by the NFLPA who wants all of the guys to only accept fully guaranteed contracts. Professional representation would’ve helped navigate that landmine as well.
