I understand the contempt for Agents and GM's, however, they do have a tough job. Look at Upshaw's comment that Agents are supposed to cater to the players. Poston was just trying to defend himself. He was villified for finding a fair court to fight his punishment.
Life of an agent. Kiss every athlete's but to get a client. If they don't get the client a good deal they're done. If they do they are roasted in forums like this.
CP also faces this. He catches heck for negotiating tough. Then, if he gives a guy a big contract that flops he is roasted again.
In an ideal world the NFL would have a slotting system for rookies. However, this is impossible because contracts aren't guaranteed.
There are exceptions like Rosenhaus who is bad for the NFL.
I understand that my viewpoint isn't popular but this is the nature of non-guaranteed contracts.
