Response from the Price Camp

[Ebenezer]

Chris Brown of WGR has contacted Tim McGee the agent for Peerless Price. Brown reports that McGee had a one word response to the news of Price's tagging:


Diappointment.

[ArcticWildMan]

Gee, what a surprise. An agent unhappy with with his client being tagged.

I just hope this guy doesn't poison Price's thoughts and make it so we can't negotiate a deal.

[Michael82]

Yeah, of course. I hate these agents...they could care less about the team or the player...they just want their big pay day!

They're not there to care about the team. All agents care about the player- that's their client.

[ArcticWildMan]

I hope they negotiate a deal and then trade his ass to Cincy. I bet that would make him happy.

[Bulldog]

Yeah, well I got three words for Price's agent: shut your mouth!

This guy is clearly an idiot. What a bummer, being paid the average of the top five receivers in the league.

I' ve got a number for Price's agent to call:

Your kidding right? All these guys care about is their wallets. They could give a damn about the Player or the team.

hmm

The only reason to tag Peerless IMO is if some others really want him bad enough.

Let them bid for him, decide not to match and take the 2 1st rounders.

As far as the agent goes, thats just typical. He sure wasn't gonna say we are thrilled He is out to get his man the best deal possible which in turn get the agent the best deal possible

Tim McGee will make more being Price's agent this season than he did during his NFL career... :)

What's good for the player is good for the agent. The agent has a fiduciary duty to represent his client, which means negotiating the best possible deal for his client. That of course means a higher fee for him.

What a surprise that the agent is upset- he probably could have gotten a better deal than the franchise tag allows, and is rightfully upset for Price and himself.

You have to be kidding to resent the agent for that.

hmmmm, we might be doing a sign and swap. Could be good.

[ArcticWildMan]

Agents and their greed cause more harm than good. What good does it do to land a record setting contract for a player if it makes it so the team can't afford anybody else?

I would think in the long run, a player could make a lot more in endorsements or future contracts if they give up a little cash so the team can maybe get a few other quality players and field a winning team.

This shows no comprehension of what agents do for their clients.

The agent is upset because he was plannong on cashing in on the signing bonus Price would of got from a long term deal. If Price does not sign a long term deal then the player goes to another agent next year then McGee gets squat...
