Ravens Ring of Honor
Reed used an agent for his first large contract, which he signed in 2006. He did not have an agent when he left Baltimore and signed with Houston, but I'm not sure that's going to help your case.Didnt ed reed and dhop not have agents?
Hopkins only didn't use an agent for his most recent two year extension with the Cardinals. He used an agent for his rookie deal and for his larger extension with Houston previously.
Richard Sherman was wildly criticized for signing a "bad deal" with SF when he negotiated his own deal after leaving Seattle. He got a whopping $5M guaranteed on that deal. It was extremely incentive-heavy. He hit a good chunk of them, which is a post-analysis perspective, but various agents weighed in suggesting they would have very easily gotten him a lot more in guaranteed money and a lot less in incentive-based compensation.
