re: Guessing a sports agent has opting out players under contract

If they do not play and do not get drafted, they should sue the agents who took advantage of them.

You do realize that if the player doesn’t get drafted then the agent would have forwarded money to a player for 8 months of lodging, food, training, and transportation to get absolutely zero in return?

These agents aren’t dumb they are offering this deal to players they know will be drafted within a certain spot. They have probably already spoken to NFL teams about how they will handle players that opt out and they probably specifically ask about the players before coming up with a deal.
