So all those people that talked shit on him for negotiating his own contract last year, he's hitting every single one of them with a big time receipt today because he met all of his incentives and got a nice pay day.

Agent negotiated deals had incentives that needed the team to make the playoffs and player to achieve another aspect but hey. I guess having things that are in your control and things you have accomplished previously and the number is more than I was scheduled to make. https://t.co/NUXsLnxsb9

So the Agent funded network doesn’t think that agents negotiated incentives in deals? It’s funny how awful the incentives in some of these recent deals you never highlight. But hey I guess when Peter Schaffer is the one of your biggest investors and Drew Rosenhaus is one ... https://t.co/YiJrqyfoNC

Of your biggest informants you have to be bias and protect your business right? Love the email exchanges I’ve seen between all of these agents making sure you protect their business by speaking negatively on player negotiated deals. Appreciate that! Keep up the good work https://t.co/YiJrqyfoNC

No agent fees for me. Get to keep the money that I earned. Fellas these agents negotiate incentives into deals all the time. You do all the work achieving them and they see the benefit. 🤷🏾*♂️

Maybe it’s a tale of players knowing their abilities and believing in themselves. More players have incentives that can’t be achieved and are negotiated by agents but hey let’s not talk about that https://t.co/Jet2cJoQyC

It could also be possible that Sherman is exaggerating. He did basically make up the Mayfield thing. Good point.

That's the truth I'm going to tell. And if you keep telling that lie maybe we can hash it all out in court. https://t.co/w8MPNCRcW2

Richard Sherman pissing off Mike Florio and ruffling his feathers is hilarious to me.

DRM08 · 01-03-2020, 07:15 PM

Florio threatening a lawsuit over that conversation? LOL

ChiliConCarnage · 01-03-2020, 07:16 PM

It still looks like a shitty contract. Play every game and 90% of snaps could both get wiped out by even a minor injury.

comochiefsfan · 01-03-2020, 07:20 PM

Florio is suuuuuuuuch a douche.

I really wish someone would punch that weasel in the face just once.

Sassy Squatch · 01-03-2020, 07:45 PM

Sherman sure got him triggered.

Not every player should or would do such a thing but he did and it worked out. Raise a glass to him and hope a bunch of shitty Broncos players find a way to rope Elway into giving them awful contracts that **** over that organization for years!

I'll drink to that.

That Stanford degree that made him so smart still didn’t teach Sherman the difference between “your” and “you’re,” apparently.

Clearly he's better at negotiating contracts than he is at negotiating contractions.

tyecopeland · 01-03-2020, 08:41 PM

The thing that Joe Thomas has wrong is that Sherman might be 10th highest cb but he got all the money. Probably higher when you take out the other db's agent fees.

But I still dont think you can retroactively call this a good contract just because he hit all his incentives. It was a gamble contract that paid off.

Sure, but his agent does A LOT more than just negotiate his contract extension. And his agent was onboard long before Mahomes was Mahomes.

He signed a deal for 7 million guarantee that he could be cut for 2 million dead cap room by S2. it's pretty awful even with him hitting some of the incentives. For a player of his stature at least. Even as a 29yo CB, he wasn't getting a monster 4-5 year deal but he shouldve been better protected for an Alex Smith type situation.

I can only imagine how well he's already taken care of him with endorsements, etc.

Pat is in good hands.

As it should be.

High School 4.2 GPA and Stanford 3.9 GPA. The dude has more than his fair share of brains.
