If you really think Rosenhaus is the biggest dick out there, you need to learn a lot about a lot of agents. I understand he annoys Miami fans a lot because of the large number of Dolphins he reps, but he's actually not half bad as agents go if you ask me.

I agree. Rosenhaus is a pain the *** but he does try to negotiate a middle ground, slightly favoring his client. If I had to choose an agent to represent me, I'd choose Rosenhaus.
I'd steer clear of the Poston's and Codon. I really don't like agents that ask more than the market can bear then sit their clients out.

Beyond them, there are the agents who are just downright criminals like whoever it was who actually stole most of what a couple of players made...

Just because he does not sign, does not mean he will not be chosen by the 49ers. This late in the game, it would be hard for them to start negotiating with another player and get a deal done. Unless they have been in negotiations will all of them.

Agreed. Rosebhaus and the Postons are the worst. Rosenhaus claims to look for the best deal for his clients, but in reality he's looking out for himself.
If he keeps convincing clients to ask for new deals, he gets 3-4% each time. It is not in HIS best interest for his clients to sign long term deals.

Why do you think that and "worst" from whose perspective? From a team's perspective, Rosenhause is a tough negotiator, but gets the job done without having his player sit out or cripple a team's cap. From a player's perspective, Drew seems to be an agent who generally gives good advise.

Wouldn't it be in his best interest to get those long term deals? Otherwise, how does he convince his guys to ask for new deals? If they were signing 2 year contracts or something, he couldn't do what you were accusing him of.

Which they do. Rodgers agent has already stated that if the Niners decide to go with them that he is confident that they can work out a contract fairly easy. I still think it goes like this...
1)San Fran- Rodgers
2)Miami- Smith
3)Cleveland- Edwards

IMO, you are all way off base to blame any of this on Condon being a dick OR to say that it is posturing by them to avoid being drafted by the 49ers. the Niners are wrongly trying to get off cheap by not bettering Manning's contract.
Plain and simple fact is that EVERY year the #1 pick gets more than the player selected that spot the year before and I don't see any fault in Smith and Condon trying to assure that it happens this year as well. Please find me one year where the top pick didn't get more than the guy before him.
As for Rodgers and Edwards willingness to sign this lower deal is because it is their ONLY chance to get drafted #1 and that offer would be the best that they could do financially.
If the Niners want Smith, they'll take him, contract or not. Even if this leads to a lengthy hold-out, what have they lost.....this pick is the FUTURE of their franchise and a few months of hard negotiations means nothing compared to making the right selection.

Can anybody say Griese? seriously though IMO Eli will be as good as Peyton, many "experts" had him rated better than his brother coming out of college.

Drew is a dick because he does his job well and that means he screws the team. What do you mean his players don't sit out. That is one of his biggest leverages. He already has guys sitting out of off season workouts. How do you think he stole TO away from his agent. By promising a new deal! If he had any morals or class he would have told him - hey you signed a deal now you live up to it. Philly gave TO 10 mil and now Drew is in there wanting a new deal after 1 year - are you kidding me? Guy is slimy!! I think we finally have a coach in Saban who will tell him to go $@## himself.

Not based on last year that's for sure! College is a very different game than the pros. His last name had ALOT to do with how he was perceived. I loved when SD drafted him anyways and he had to go up to the podium shocked - that was priceless. Where does he and his Dad get off trying to tell a team what to do. IMO he is way overrated - he was like a dear in headlights last year. Warner got screwed by being pulled for Eli. They would have made the playoffs if they stayed with Kurt.
