the theory of the agent being blackballed by the team is silly.
Obviously it depends on how much a player is wanted, but this has happened many times. Teams don't like to 'agree to terms' with agents that don't keep their word. 'Agreeing to terms' is trust...'signing a contract' is final.
I can't believe someone as smart as you is even arguing this.

I dont think the idea of an agent being blackballed by a team is silly at all. With the idea of a "legal tampering" window, why would a team ever risk negotiating with an agent that is known for backing out on deals. That would lead to less teams bidding for your player, and in turn less money available to that player. Any smart player would then fire that agent.
The Barr thing is a little bit different because it was during the legal tampering window and he returned to the team that he was previously on. Cook leaving the Saints for the Pats would be a virtual death sentence for that agent.

Im trying to think of an instance where a player was blackballed due to a player's agent not negotiating in good faith. Good players will always have a home somewhere
The Jets CEO is out here bitching about Anthony Barr and his agent reneging on their deal, all while he just gave Lev Bell $27 mil guaranteed after the Bell camp sat out a full year
It's all conjecture at this point. Until it's signed I just cant say he's coming here guaranteed. If you think thats unreasonable then idk what else to say
Ya why would he go somewhere else for more money? derp
That's the exact reason why he'd entertain a Patriots offer

And you think new England is going to overpay by that much.
New england is not going to give Jared cook more than 9 mil a year.
So why would he back out of a guaranteed 8 mil just to go to the patriots with basically the same offer.
