One dresses like a slob on the sideline and is something of an anti-hero to millions of fans who know that Super Bowl betting is the best place to find odds. The other is as button down and corporate as they come.  Both are highly successful winners from the Bill Parcells tree of coaches.

Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots is well known for his torn hoodies that he wears on the sideline with wrinkled sweat pants.  He is also known as a three-time Super Bowl winner and he has won NFL coach of the year honors three times as well.

Tom Coughlin is the uptight but highly successful coach of the New York Giants that led one of the biggest and most memorable upsets in Super Bowl history four years ago when his Giants scored a win in the final seconds over Belichick’s 18-0 Patriots to ruin their shot at glorious perfection.

Both coaches did not achieve instant success and had to adjust and remake their own self-images in order to win consistently.

Many who know that Super Bowl betting is the best place to find odds may forget that Belichick was a once failed NFL head coach of the old Cleveland Browns before their move to Baltimore where they became the Ravens. At that point he was considered nothing more than a defensive expert and a life time coordinator that was incapable of making the jump to head coach.  Belichick had humble beginnings as a $25 per week assistant to Ted Marchibroda and the Baltimore Colts in the mid 1970’s.  His big break came in 1985 when Parcells named him defensive coordinator of the Giants, ironically enough, and they went on to win two Super Bowls together.

Coughlin was on the staff of that second Giants title team with Parcells and Belichick in 1990 before becoming the first ever coach of the NFL expansion Jacksonville Jaguars where in just their second year of existence they ended up in the AFC Championship game where they lost, ironically enough, to the Parcells coached Patriots. Coughlin led the Jags to four consecutive playoff appearances before flaming out with three consecutive losing seasons.  He arrived at the Giants as a “retread” and with the reputation of not caring about his players.  He remade his image in 2007 after nearly being fired following an 8-8 season in 2006 and immediately got results with a Super Bowl title.

Super Bowl Offers Contrast of Great Coaches from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

With his recent hit on quarterback Andy Dalton in the preseason, the debate has raged across the football nation as to whether Detroit Lions star defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh is a “dirty” player.  The answer to this is up for debate, but one thing that has been indisputable is Suh’s impact on the Motor City.  With just over one NFL season under his belt, he has changed the entire culture in a city starving for a football star since the shocking departure of Barry Sanders.  In his first year as a Lion, Suh was an all-pro and pro-bowl selection, defensive rookie of the year and led all defensive tackles in sacks.

But this has not occurred without some controversy regarding the way he plays.  Suh has barely begun his second regular season in the NFL and has already been fined three times by the league ($7,500, $15,000 and $20,000) for rough play.  The problem may lay in the fact that Suh is not your typical defensive lineman.  He dishes out vicious hits like that of a defensive end, but is an interior defensive linemen.  His tremendous size and speed allows him to intimidate quarterbacks.  This has been coupled with an attitude and swagger that is contagious around the rest of the team.

In a recent interview on The Jim Rome Show, Suh asserted that he is not dirty but rather has more strength and athletic ability than the opponents he lines up against, which makes it hard to officiate him.  He maintains that a dirty player means committing 15-yard penalties, throwing dirty punches and face mashing – traits that are not a part of his character.  After the NFL fined him for the hit on Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, Suh voiced his displeasure on Twitter by saying among other things it was an epic fail by the NFL.  He has also maintained that his mother tells him he is not dirty and he thought that the Dalton hit was fair because he began the process of hitting him before he released the football.  When commenting on whether a fear of a reputation may hinder what he does on the football field he said that he is actually going to turn it up a couple notches this season, if anything.

Regardless of whether accusations of being a dirty player are warranted or not, Suh is a smart, mature and likeable character off the field – something the NFL can be proud of in an era where many of its players have been plagued with off-the-field issues.

Mark Bartelstein Speaks About NFL Free Agent Deals from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

I know a lot of agents who love to boast about the fact that they rarely, if ever, get any sleep.  In fact, my friend Mook Williams of National Sports Management made his Facebook profile name, Mook NoSleepneeded Williams.

Judy Battista of the New York Times recently wrote an article titled, Sleep? For N.F.L. Agents, the Action Is Nonstop.  In that article, Battista mentioned David Canter, who can operate on 45 minutes of sleep (and is being talked about by many in the business after negotiating a whopper of a deal for client Eric Weddle), the CAA Football duo of Tom Condon and Ben Dogra, who have the daunting task of representing 5 first rounders in addition to Antonio Cromartie, Peyton Manning, and Nnamdi Asomugha (imagine how much time they spent on Asomugha alone!), and Joel Segal of Lagardere Unlimited, who summed up last week with the line, “Literally, no sleep!”

NFL Agents Have Been Getting Very Little Sleep from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

2011 NFL Undrafted Free Agent Signings (Player/Agent) from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

On Tuesday, July 27, 2011, Pat Dye Jr. welcomed Len Pasquarelli of The Sports Xchange into his SportsTrust Advisors office to observe what was expected to be a day of madness – the first day teams could contact veteran free agents and rookies since the start of the NFL lockout.  Pasquarelli’s subsequent write-up describes what sounds to be a busy day at Dye Jr.’s office, but not a day that was absolute madness.  Here is a section of the article, which actually discusses a negotiation between the Oakland Raiders and my college friend Jarvis Moss, along with the different tasks Dye Jr. tackled in a short span of time:

In the opening two hours of the signing period on Tuesday, Dye negotiated a one-year, $1.25 million deal to send unrestricted defensive end Jarvis Moss back to the Oakland Raiders. He phoned Moss to apprise him of the contract, to counsel him on the logistics of what lie ahead, to remind Moss that the contract can’t be officially signed until Friday evening, and to offer the services of his office in arranging travel for his four-year veteran client.

Over the next several hours, Dye found time to chat by phone with client DeMarcus Ware, who wanted to be updated on the moves made by the Dallas Cowboys; to conduct an interview with a local sports-talk radio station; to wolf down a chicken salad from a restaurant a couple blocks away; to field a call from a team about one of the firm’s first-round selections; to update Sexton on communications with clubs, including a tip his partner had on a client in whom a team had broached interest; and to answer the several questions of an interloper columnist.

Pat Dye Jr.’s First Day Of 2011 Free Agency Duties from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

Before 31 NFL team owners approved (1 owner, Al David of the Oakland Raiders, abstained in the vote) what they called a comprehensive agreement, there were a lot of rumblings on Twitter regarding sources telling reporters that the new deal will include a reduction of the ceiling for NFL agent fees on negotiated rookie contracts.  Prior to the lockout, no agent could take more than a 3% commission on any negotiated team contract, rookie or veteran.  The rumor is that for rookie contracts alone, the new cap on agent fees will be 2%.  This could have far reaching negative effects on the agent community.

While initially it may seem as though a mere reduction of a single percentage point is negligible, realize that we are talking about percentage points on contracts worth 6-to-8 figures.  Let’s throw round values and length of contracts out of the window.  If you represent someone who is making $10,000,000 and you take 3%, you earn $300,000.  A mere one percentage point reduction and you forfeit $100,000.  Maybe that is not a big deal to a large agency with a huge client base, but to the smaller agents who are struggling to pay training costs alone and representing players who are drafted in the later rounds without those large contracts, that percentage point could be the difference between surviving to practice another year and calling it quits.

People who think that most agents have not been charging the 3% maximum commission are wrong.  The NFLPA has stated that the average commission charged by a certified contract advisor is roughly 2.9%.  Further, the fees that are typically reduced are for players selected in the top 10 picks of the first round.  Again, we are not talking about the small agents here.

It remains to be seen whether the rumor of a change in the commission cap on rookie deals turns out to be true.  As of right now, there is no deal in place – the players believe that the owners have voted on a collective bargaining agreement with provisions that were never agreed to by the players.  However, in the meantime, there are many people who are less than thrilled with the rumor of reducing the cap on agent fees.

I have provided some of the better Tweets from last night on this subject, below.

If true, and #NFLPA caps #agent fees @ 2% on rookie deals - #agents will be more inclined to poach veterans - sqeeze small agents #nfl

And my favorite:

CBA-drop agent rookie fees from 3 to 2 percent. Sounds fair. Is #NCAA a signatory to the agreement or just a farm system pay back? Geesh!

Rumor: NFL Rookie Deal Agent Fees To Be Capped At 2% from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

Every year, all players selected in the NFL Draft are invited to the Pro Football Hall of Fame to partake in a rookie symposium.  Topics discussed at the symposium include financial planning, indoctrination into the NFL, and how to be a professional on and off the field.  This year’s rookie symposium was scheduled for June 26, 2011.  It has been called off more than a month in advance of its scheduled date.  That cannot be a good sign with regards to the Lockout ending any time soon.  More important at this point in the Lockout, though, is that drafted players gain access to their teams’ playbooks.  Most drafted players are continuing to workout privately, but are not yet learning their teams’ plays.  This could turn out to be a huge negative impact of the prolonged Lockout.

Player education programs were also scheduled for NFL players at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University.  Those financial programs were scheduled for March and were also unfortunate casualties of the NFL Lockout.  In the past, sessions also took place at the Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern University) and Stanford Graduate School of Business.  These programs have been a part of the NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program, which is part of the NFL and the NFLPA’s efforts to prepare players for their post-playing careers.  Roughly 100 NFL players enroll in this program per year.

We covered the Wharton program two years ago on Sports Agent Blog.  Here is some of what players missed out on in 2011:

The Wharton program focuses on a broad range of business topics, including financial analysis, entrepreneurship, real estate development, stock market investing, negotiation skills, risk management, and community reinvestment.  Attendees work on directed as well as individual real estate, entrepreneurial and personal finance projects during the month between the program’s two sessions.

Players must apply to the program; applications are judged on criteria including previous education, leadership in the community, business experience, and interest in owning or managing a business.  In addition, the cost of the program is covered.  In fact, the under the current CBA, players can be reimbursed up to $15,000 a year for education at accredited institutions.

Players have the opportunity to explore a multitude of topics and opportunities that they can look to when their days on the field are over.  Drew Brees, who previously attended the program at the Wharton School, was among the players that showed up at Stanford this year.  Despite being in the middle of a 6-year, $60 million contract with the Saints, the star quarterback has shown a dedication to preparing for life after football.  Like Brees, Jaguars offensive linemen Maurice Williams is returning to the program; after attending the Stanford program in 2007, the veteran has enrolled in this year’s program at Wharton.  But the list of attendees doesn’t just include veterans; young guns like Brady Quinn will also take part in the educational opportunity.

These programs do not make the headlines in any discussion regarding the NFL Lockout, but tend to have the potential to play a huge role in the development of NFL players off the field.  As mentioned in our story from two years, ago, the average NFL career lasts three-and-a-half seasons (depending on who you talk to).  Players need to be thinking about life after football.  The programs set up by the NFL and the NFLPA give the players the tools to start planning for the future.  Those tools were stripped away from players due to this year’s Lockout.

No NFL Rookie Symposium, Player Education Programs from Sports Agent Blog - Sports Business, Sports Law, Sports Negotiations, NCAA Rules

As a football agent, you have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of your clients.  But what happens when a player is either released from an NFL team with no other teams willing to sign the player, or the player is just not good enough for the NFL?

Below are the top options an agent is left with in trying to find the best opportunity for his client:

1.     United Football League

Founded in 2009, the United Football League (UFL) offers one-year contracts worth $40,000 (prorated over its eight game regular season) to the majority of its players. In addition to base salary and performance-based bonuses, the six-team UFL also takes care of the housing expenses for its players.  While the financial incentives to send a player to the UFL are not enticing, the six-team league is run almost entirely by former NFL coaches and front office personnel, and thus, the UFL provides an excellent opportunity for a player to gain more NFL exposure.

Furthermore, while the CFL may pay slightly more on average than the UFL, the UFL plays merely eight regular season games, far less than the 18 game regular season of the CFL.

There are several downsides to sending a client to the UFL.  As mentioned above, the pay is generally less than that of the CFL.  In the past, if an NFL team wanted to sign a UFL player, there was a $150,000 buyout clause that was standard in every UFL player contract.   It is uncertain whether the UFL will include this clause in contracts in the future.  Additionally, the UFL is a newer league and is less stable, having had issues with paying bonuses to its players.

2.     Canadian Football League

The eight-team CFL imposes a league-mandated $4.2 million salary cap for each franchise. The league minimum salary is $41,000 as compensation over a six-month season.  This league minimum is scheduled to go up to $45,000 in 2013.  As with the UFL, only a handful of players command six-figure salaries.

The upside of playing for the CFL is it is a stable league that has been established since 1958.  Its former downside, being paid in Canadian dollars, is now a strength due to the fact that the Canadian dollar is stronger than the US dollar.

The downside of playing for the CFL is that most contracts are 2 years with a 1 year option.  If a player does not have a passport, he will need to get one.  Taxes may also pose an issue for the American citizen playing in the CFL.  The first $80,000US made abroad is exempt from US taxes; anything above that will be taxed in the US.  A common misconception is that Canadian’s taxes are higher, but if the player is making league minimum, he would be taxed at 22% in Canada, whereas in the US he would be taxed at 25%.

Another thing an agent has to keep in mind is his client’s position and unique skill. The CFL plays on a much larger field than those in the U.S.  A Canadian football game is played on a 110 yard by 65 yard field, compared to an American field which is a 100 yard by 53? yard field.  The CFL plays with 12 men on each side, with 1 receiver permitted to go in forward motion at the snap of the ball, similar to a rugby player taking a pitch at full speed.  Because of these differences, undersized, smaller players have a greater chance for success in the CFL.

3.     Arena Football League

The Arena Football League operates in the U.S. as a fast-paced indoor version of the football. Currently, most arena players make $400 per game over an 18-week schedule.  Three players on each of the 15 AFL teams are eligible for designation as a “franchise” player. This designation grants these three players a salary of $1,000 per game. Aside from the flat rate payments, the AFL also offers its players financial aid for housing and meal expenses. The AFL, and IFL (if your player cannot get into the AFL) should be your last options.  While there are unpaid semi-pro leagues and start-up paid leagues such as the Stars Football League, those leagues rarely have NFL scouts in attendance.
