Contract Negotiations & Oversight
We will maximize your earnings potential with each and every contract, and seek any and all salary and bonus guarantees possible in order to protect your expected income stream over the term of each player agreement.
In order to maximize and protect your earnings, contract oversight and management is just as important as the negotiations. We will be there every step of the way to ensure, during each season and offseason, you meet all of your contractual and collectively bargained obligations and the NFL club meets theirs.
NFL Player Contracts, whether for 1 year, 3 years or 5 are fluid in that they often can be renegotiated at the player’s or club’s request. Depending upon your tenure in the league, such as a Rookie, Restricted or Unrestricted Free Agent, the timing and league-imposed deadlines are critical to a successful renegotiation, extension or option exercise. We will provide the oversight necessary to ensure we properly capitalize on any opportunities to further maximize your income when your performance on the field and value to the team is worthy.
NFL Player Contracts are unique because a majority of the terms and conditions of employment are contained in the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). The CBA is a complex agreement that holds players and owners accountable for a myriad of obligations, and we want to protect your income, health and benefits.
