Lamar Jackson

A lot of people making great points. Lamar got himself a great deal with out an agent but also had some seriously cringe moments with the clothing line and gym equipment. Atleast it all worked out

No, teams knew what both the ravens and Lamar were doing, Lamar never wanted out, they wanted to drum up an offer sheet so the ravens can match it, so teams didn’t wanna waste their time.

Why do you wanna eat agent dicks so bad florio?

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! :cool:

Congratulations to you my man! That's awesome! There is nothing like being entrepreneurial and working for yourself! Lots of freedom and flexibility come with being your own boss. :cool:

When you are first getting your business off the ground it takes a lot of your time, energy, and effort. Building trust with return clients, customers and the community takes time. Do your best to operate with integrity and ethics and great things will happen for you. Also, learn to practice delayed gratification and then one day, you will be able to live the lifestyle that you have dreamed of in the near future and that you are working hard for in the present.

Peep the wheels (for inspiration) that my wife bought for me a few months ago: :cool:

Appreciate it big homie! Subtle flex and you earned that right lol love to see it. I’m trying to live as minimally as possible now in hopes that by my 50s I’ll be able to live modest, passive, and go where I want, while leaving my boys assets and some basic financial knowledge that I was never given. I’m broke af right now but I promise it’s all part of some long elaborate plan… I think lol. I know what I’m capable of though, I’m a clown on here but I’m actually quite good at what I do and I’m more than capable to run a small business in this field, it’s just a matter of building it up from the ground is all, gonna be a process but we’re right in track to kick shit into gear once my youngest starts school and frees up my wife’s days
