Because if you don't, they will slip language in there requiring you to do many things. You must win every game or you only get 10% of your yearly pay. You have to do all of the yardwork at the owners house, and impregnate his daughter.
Her nickname is Tree-Fiddy for a reason.

Sounds like you know everything you need to about the law and contracts. What could go wrong when talking abt millions of dollars on the line?

Gone are the days when rookie contracts are heavily negotiated, limiting some players’ need to hire an agent and giving teams more flexibility in making their choices. The league now operates using a rookie wage scale for incoming NFL players, reducing what had become a series of outrageously expensive deals for players who didn’t always pan out.
Players like Ravens first-round pick Lamar Jackson have decided to forgo hiring an agent altogether. Instead, the quarterback has a manager (his mom) and a lawyer to help with all the backend stuff. There was a big stink made from various outlets about Jackson’s decision, but he spoke about his choice to represent himself back at the NFL Scouting Combine in early March.
No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield also hedged on the possibility of going without an agent through the draft process, but ultimately decided to add one to his arsenal. There are pros and cons for each player as they decide whether to hire an agent, and despite a long list of pros, losing out on a big chunk of money right out of college can’t be ignored either.

My first thought. He hired a new agency linked to No Limit Records, and left millions if not tens of millions on the table. What a dumbass.

Because you don’t know how to spell your own name.
You’ve never had to, despite graduating high school, somehow passing the SAT and going to college.

You don't need just an agent for your free agency salary but you do need a CPA and Sports Lawyer.

Well you're not about to be drafted, so you do not need an agent.

You need an agent/lawyer to bail your arse out when you bounce on a $50k tab at the strip club.

For your rookie contract you really don't. Because of the rookie salary cap your first contract is almost set by your draft spot. You wan't to maximize other revenue streams though you'll need an agent out there finding sponsorship opportunities for you.

I'll be your agent for 1% less than the buffoons at Sexton's office.

Negotiate for yourself.
