That’s my thoughts too with all the agent stuff.
Yes the agent is a bit jerky with most negotiations trying to get the best deal “for their client” but at the end of the day, the player surely has some say.

Agent: “I’m trying to get your current club to increase your salary or term but they aren’t budging. We can get xxx terms at Sydney since they don’t have a salary cap”

Player: “hmmm, you know what, I’m happy with those terms to stay put”



To be fair. You play professional football for 10-15 years of you are lucky. May as well make the most of it. More
Importantly though, I think you need to think of the contract after, it’s all well and good to go and collect a pay check in the a league, but if you dont improve, get game time, have success, you may not be as appealing next time around.
