FACT 2: His agent works for him. If Wilson doesn't like the way negotiations are being handled he has every opportunity to fire him and go with a well connected football agent.
Since you added this after my reply, I'll reply to it separately.
Of course his agent works for him. Who says the negotiations are being handled wrong by the agent or the team. For the love of god people, It's not even draft day yet. It's not like he's holding out, there are exactly ZERO reasons to be concerned about Wilson and his new contract. There is no holding out going on, there is no problem whatsoever being reported as fact anywhere. The only FACT here is that Wilson was with the agent who handled his baseball career longer and when he consolidated (which is a smart move) he chose that agent to move forward instead of having multiple agents.
Yeah I edited immediately but you responded even faster.
I recognize that we know nothing about how the negotiations are being handled. All I'm saying is he hired his baseball agent to handle his football contracts for reasons besides he had been with him longer. Wilson is a smart guy and isn't just going to hand a guy a $120 million contract to negotiate based on that.
First of all, you say he hired his baseball agent to do his football contracts, maybe it's just semantics, but you don't hire someone who works for you. You can promote someone, you can give them additional duties, but when they work for you, you can't really hire them. He's been hired for a long time now, he's just adding on to his current duties
What factual evidence is there out there that him sticking with his baseball agent over his football agent is anything other than personal preference? It's quite possible that he only hired the football agent as a temporary stop gap measure while his baseball agent learned the ropes.
This upcoming contract is due to be huge. The payoff for that he's going to want to go to whatever agent is best for him for the long term.
I see the agent business as nothing more than Wilson making a business decision to go with the guy he trusts the most and nothing more. If there is evidence to the contrary, I'll change my mind, but I just don't see anything anywhere that is more than just conjecture
