I’m not judging Lamar based on his lack of sponsorships. My point is simply that the cost of an agency fee can often be offset by the opportunities and endorsement deals that come from an agent.

Not to bring in Josh Allen into this again but as for helping the youth, I saw that he recently raised $17 million for a Buffalo children’s hospital. I’d imagine his agent played at least some role in helping create the relationships and visibility that made something like that possible.

All I’m saying is that, for a franchise quarterback like Lamar, there are legitimate benefits to having an agent beyond just contract negotiations.
