If I were an agent who received one of these brochures, I would be thinking "Pete Carroll doesn't believe my guy is going to be drafted. F@#%!"
:shock:
Agents handle more than one player. For every draft-quality player they represent, there are lots of kids who won't be drafted. PC & JS want the Seahawks to be a preferred location, such that when the Patriots and Seahawks both want a player, the agent advises the player to sign with Seattle because he'll have a better chance to stick on the roster, or be selected by another team if he doesn't.
Our statistics show that we keep more UDFAs than other teams and more of our players get picked up by other teams if released by the Seahawks.
All of that represents more money to the agent in the form of commission, and therefore incentive for the agent to recommend Seattle over other teams.
