That was my initial reaction, but now I wonder if the contracts that agents sign with players includes some sort of "you are ultimately responsible" clause. If not, I'll bet they will now.
Not that it matters for that agent. I suspect that he'll never get work again.

I wish we had such a clause in the Royals owner's deal for home games... I'd love it if that ****er had to show his face at games!

That's the problem. Nobody is responsible for their own actions anymore.

You never really know what the course of communication was when the contract was negotitated and signed or when Brown made the decision to stay at home and not attend the off season workouts.
Did he even call or write the agent Overstreet and tell him that he wanted an answer on that decision before he made it? I doubt there is going to be any lawsuit because there probably are some letters or e-mails from when the contract was signed specifically explaining the bonuses and Brown probably did not even call or write the agent to ask about his decision not to attend workouts. From Googling his name, looks like Overstreet has a lot of name players and maybe they are satisfied with his representation. If Brown did not know that 2/3 of his salary depended on 1 bonus, I would not assume that he never got that specific information in a separate writing from the signed contract. Of course, the signed player contract has too many pages, but more than likely he got that inforamtion in a one page summary or e-mail.

How about if you are being paid millions to play football you just show up voluntarily to offseason workouts? Why does it take a multi-million dollar clause to get you show?

That was my initial reaction. Is it that big of a problem to attend workouts in exchange for $2 million freaking dollars?

i think the agent has a leg to stand on though,
its not like Overstreet is some nobody or Browns cousin brother uncle given an agent job. Overstreet reps a lot of mid tier serviceable NFL players. So if you think Overstreet didnt have the wording of that contract correct or helps his clients think again. The guy has to deal with players like Dre Kirkpatrick and Nick Fairley I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt his company told Brown to get the **** to practice soon, like he probably did any of his other clients with camp escalators. |
