Tarell Brown fired his agent for a really good reason.
I bet the agent was really looking forward to hearing his receptionist say, "Tarell Brown on Line 2".
Seriously, it seems like this is really good lawsuit material. Isn't it the agent's job to know this stuff? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...49ers-workouts Tarell Brown left $2 million on the table this offseason. This hardly was part of the plan. The San Francisco 49ers cornerback was due to earn $2.925 million in 2013, the final year of his contract. To collect $2 million of that salary, he was obligated to attend offseason workouts with the team. Unaware that his attendance was contractually mandatory, Brown worked out on his own in Texas. He didn't realize he had cost himself dearly until Thursday, when he saw reports on Twitter. He immediately fired his agent, Brian Overstreet. "No one wants to leave money on the table," Brown said Thursday, via The Associated Press. "If I would have known the clauses in my contract -- that's what agents get paid to do, to orchestrate the contract and to let you know what you can and can't do as far as workouts and OTAs and things of that sort. That's what he got paid to do. He didn't do that, so in my opinion, you have to be let go. We all are held accountable for our actions. This is part of the business." After finishing what we imagine was a tremendously pleasant conversation with Mr. Overstreet, Brown reached out to the 49ers. Unfortunately for the 28-year-old, "there wasn't too much I really could say." "It had nothing to do with not being in shape, not wanting to work out, no contract problems, it just had to do with me wanting to go back home and train," Brown said. "It's something I've been doing for the past few years." Brown said he plans to sit down with 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh in an effort to work out a compromise of some kind. "Hope for the best," Brown said. "Pray for me." Let's throw in a prayer for the agent, too. What a mess. |

It's the agents fault. Brown hired his agent to understand the contract. His agents only job is to know the contract. Browns job is to play football.
Also, if I'm the 49ers, I would pay the man. It's not like he was being a rebel for skipping. He was probably working out on his own. Shouldn't the 49ers have at least called him and said 'hey, I don'tknow if you realize this, vbut your contract says you need to be here.' It's a small price for the 49ers play to avoid building a reputation that they're trying to take advantage of their players. Yeah, he should know his contract. I am guessing many players would have missed this |
Dumbass agent.

I think you have to take responsibility for yourself.
That's not exactly fine print in terms of the contract wording. Yes the agent should be fired IMO, but I don't feel sorry for the guy as it's his own responsibility to know the basic framework of his contract. |

The 49ers have no obligation to let him know about this contract clause and they shouldn't call him and alert him of the clause. He should take responsibility for his own requirements. His agent screwed up by not reminding him of the workout clause, but JFC it's part of your job to know what your contract says. |

I hope his agent has a good E&O policy because he is going to be sued.
