This is the decision point with Anand Nenduri and we start with a

question from a listener with a curious listener emailing me podfather at rotounderworld.com

feel free to email me questions or on Twitter at fantasy underscore mansion he is at Nenduri

NFL.

The question is what's going to happen with Lamar Jackson's contract because Lamar Jackson

should have been extended by now.

If you're thinking about when he was drafted and when these other quarterbacks have been

extended and then you recall that he never hired an agent.

I want to dig into this with you today.

The value of an agent.

What does an agent bring to the table because if it were me, I would just take the scale

salary that I'm going to make wherever I was drafted in the first round and then I would

shop for agents during my rookie contract.

Does that make sense is what Lamar Jackson's doing collaborating with his mother to negotiate

with a Ravens make sense or should you just sign with an agent the moment you declare

for the draft and write it out.

I think the best case scenario if you're an athlete, right?

Lamar Jackson shouldn't be worrying about his money, right?

Someone else should be taking care of that, whether it's his mom is agent, whatever.

The plus side of having an agent, one is they've done this a million times before, right?

Any of the agent friends that I have that I talk to a lot of what they do initially is

they'll go their first few clients, especially if they're not with a big agency.
