Plus, it might help with their almost 30 year old Hate of the Irsays.

Someone is playing too much fantasy football.

Agents, by law, must represent the individual. Collusion with other agents that harms one of the clients can open up the agency and individual agents to lawsuits. They can lose their license (yes, talent agents are licensed) and be permanently barred by the NFL. Just the threat of a lawsuit can ruin an agent. No agent lives off just one client. There just aren’t that many teams where Manning is a fit. If some of the teams are excluded, there better be a reason the CAA agent can cite, otherwise he (its usually he) is exposed.

Agents also come and go from CAA. If an agent is doing something shady, CAA will jettison the agent to protect its own reputation.

Now, agents in the same agency often work together to pit clients against each other to drive up the best deal for a client. As long as neither client is financially harmed, that’s fine. CAA (as well as IMG and others) will create packages that enhance a player’s worth in ways that aren’t immediately apparent – a deal with the NY Jets might include enhanced advertising deals. But again, all clients better benefit or they can be ruined.

In short, the CAA angle is a red herring. It doesn’t make sense to anyone who understands the business.

That team is Kansas City.

And that’s the problem. It’s Kansas City.

Kansas City isn’t exactly Green Bay.

Correct. They did, however, make their money and obtain their power to packaging movies together and demanding a cut of the gross based on the number of relevant players represented by CAA.

For example, Jurrasic Park. The cast, the director, the author of the book, and the screenwriter all were CAA clients, and so any studio that wanted to release this high powered offense of a film, would have to give CAA a percentage of the take.

I know this because I worked in the CAA mailroom at the time. I was once sent with a check to deposit. The money was for the services of one of these top players in the movie, and the total was over $10,000,000.

Hollywood is a crazy place.

Not the Cheifs either. You have an injury prone #1 rb, #1wr, #1te and are more than a qb away from winning. And again, willing to cut Cassel loose and eat that contract? Nobody will trade for that guy, sorry. In a weak division, it’s easy to look like a great team isn’t it? Play in the AFC North then tell me how great they are.
Nodody wants to go to Seattle. And the Skins need not just a qb, but a whole offense.

The BEST fit is Zona. Forget the Eli issue (just bc they are both NFC doesnt mean they’d both be in the NFCC) They have the dome, Fitz, and a weak(er) division. If not Zona, then I can see no other spot than Miami.

What if the Niners want Manning? CAA won’t let him go there? It only matters what CAA and Manning want?

Uh … not likely.

I don’t believe that for a second. That would be a gross violation of an agent’s fiduciary responsibility. It would open the whole agency to lawsuits and destroy its reputation…

So maybe these things are considered by lawyers, but I don’t believe in the cutthroat agent world that any agent would cheat like that.

Just said on 1050 espn ny that he is leaning towards the Jets for what it’s worth.

In all seriousness though, Peyton is going to retire in retirees paradise… Miami.

Don’t you realize that CAA gets a cut of everything Manning does, including endorsements.

He is a brand, and CAA will do everything they can to maximize his value. If they think that means San Fran, you think they will let the comparative pittance they will make from Smith’s new deal get in the way of growing Manning’s brand?

Besides, do you really think CAA controls Manning? If Manning said to, they would cut Smith as a client altogether.

CAA didn’t become the powerhouse agency they are by making their superstars unhappy.

Just tweek the Defense with a few free agents (KC cornerback) and draft the left gaurd from USC or top Runningback from Alabama( if AD is not healthy). with their first round pick.

Then go defense with picks 2 to 4 all cornerbacks & DE /DT

rebuilt in a year…
