View Full Version : Player's agent - does it help your decision to draft?

Just wondering how much a player's agent (stubborn negotiator, players on your team, etc...) affects your decision to draft him?
I basically only look at it if I am trying to decide between a couple of players and need something to help me lean toward one of them...

Pretty much not at all. I don't think it's ever come down to two guys that close where that would factor in.

It's never been a factor for me, but I have seen some people cite it as a reason they did or didn't draft someone.
Seeing as I drafted horribly in both leagues I'm in, I doubt it will ever come down to this.

I used to consider it as a factor. However, now I just go with whoever I think is the best guy regardless of agent. There is always something else that tips it slightly one way or the other.

I always find it funny when there's a poll here that's actually dedicated to FOF. :)

I really don't concern myself with the agents. I find that as more of a fluff feature. I've been having more rookies hold out on me lately, so maybe I should investigate this more....

Never a factor to me, although I occasionally look at the agents to see how many of my guys they have.

I'll look at the agent sometimes, but moreso in Single player. In multi I almost always give out option 4's, since its way too much of a pain to wait till a guy signs, and guys gotta be at camp. In single, sometimes if I have similar players, I will look at the agent, hoping I can sign that Rookie RB/T to a 6 year deal instead of a 5 year one.

A small factor for me in deciding on who to draft. When it comes to Free Agency and the offers to make, I do take a look at the agents negotiating rating, but even here, it isn't a major factor.

To me, agents are completely irrelevant to any decision I make in the game.
