Why would Ronnie Brown choose such an inexperienced agent? Does it boil down to price? Would a more experienced agent have him in camp already. I'm frustrated because he's in tc yet.
 
he may be inexperienced but three of his players went in the top 14 of the draft... he's doing something right.

Are any of his other players signed yet?
 
yup... i believe that both thomas davis and carlos rogers are signed.

he may be inexperienced, but if he had sorted a contract quickly and got Ronnie less money than Braylon then he would be committing career suicide. He wanted $21 mil guaranteed which is actually right in between Smith's $24 mil and Braylon's $18.5 mil - not too far out. It is now looking like Ronnie will be getting $19.5 mil but over 5 years and not 6... Remember there are a lot of problems this year with the fall out of the Rivers/Manning trade from last year. Rivers got a very lucrative contract from the Chargers and also Larry Fitzgerald (#3 overall) got more money than Gallery (#2).

Like I said- just curious and frustrated that he's not in camp yet.
 
So is it like a domino effect. First pick signs, second pick looks at first pick's contract, while third pick waits for second pick to sign, etc.? It's very confusing.
 
its tougher for the second pick...

the first pick starts everything, but the second pick doesnt want to be sold short compared to the #3 pick.

it is a crazy domino effect, thats for sure.
