Man, I love the fact that Lamar represented himself. To hell with all of this "needing" an agent B.S. That's the crutch of the "system" talking and Lamar, Roquan and a few other NFL players (present and past) refuse to operate within it. Lamar said it best when he was asked if he will secure an agent or continue to represent himself going forward when he said;
"I wouldn't want to put my trust in anyone else." I don't blame him!
I once had a job years ago (before I started my own company) and decided to walk away from it. When it came to my severance pay, the employer asked me;
"Now we can prorate this 6-figure severance to you over a few months or give it to you in a lump sum. Which do you prefer?" My exact words to him were:
"Give me the lump sum upfront because no one can manage my money better than me!" Since then, my business has sky-rocketed and my family is set up financially.
Lamar kept that agent's percentage in the family for generations to come. Way to go Lamar!
