For having a total dumbshit for a client.

Did you even read the OP? Brown was never told.

So...you're making up your own facts now?

So you believe that Brown was never told about a 2 million dollar clause in his contract? You do realize you are taking the word of a player who just lost 2 million dollars.

This is an experienced agent. I'm more willing to believe that the agent told Brown and he was too busy daydreaming about what color Escalade he was going to buy to pay attention.

This is the final year of contract....did the contract say he could go off by himself in the previous years and just require him in camp the last year?

Brown's statements aren't facts.

So you believe that a player passed up the chance to make 2 million dollars?

LMAO Oh, you're one of those guys. But hey, continue making up your own facts to make yourself feel better.

And your assumptions are...?

No, not at all, but I'm not the dumbass that used the word facts.

The agent is getting paid to do this. It's not like he's doing this out of the goodness of his heart. If his client has a clause that could cost him $2M, your agent sure as shit better tell his client to do it. What, do you think that every football player has a Microsoft Outlook Calendar and loads into it that 3 years from today, you have to make sure to attend a workout?

Do you hire an accountant to do your taxes? Or a financial planner? Is it your job to micromanage those people? Or do you think that when you pay those people money, it's their responsibility to take care of you?

What else do we have to go off of right now? It's very likely that Overstreet either didn't know about the bonus himself or he neglected to tell Brown. It's not very likely Brown knew he could make 2 million dollars from just working out and declined. His base salary is $900,000 this season. No way he would have turned down the opportunity to make $2,000,000 in the off season.

The agent has done his job so long as he explained this obligation to the client before the contract was signed. Assuming that happened, the agent isn't necessarily in wrong here. However, it would be better quality service as an adviser and in their own best interest to make efforts to remind the client about this provision and particularly as it seemed to only be applicable in the final year of the deal.

No offense but it's clear that you aren't used to dealing with "talent".

People who earn a living from their "talent" hire others to maintain their finances, make deals in their best interest and inform them, daily if necessary, of their contractual obligations.

Doing so allows them to focus on their job, whether it's as a sports, music or movie star.

From what's been released publicly to date, it appears that the agent failed his client.

I bet his agent told him it was 200 million pennies, so he just ignored it.
