These agents are taking advantage of the limited time cap space that teams are gonna have the next few years while numerous teams need to spend stupid money to get to the cap floor while the cap keeps going up at the same time.
The agents know this and are making sure their clients are setting the bar higher and higher to set the tone for future player negotiations.
Demanding 12m per is just silly...and it's probably telling that Berry has been a non exclusive franchise tag guy that can negotiate with other teams and that's the number they demanded. Some team would pay him that much if they didn't have to fork over picks. Otherwise they would be more reasonable.
The agents said the same with Von Miller.
