I actually feel pity for Donald. As this drags on what becomes clear is that with this CBA, the teams have the upperhand in setting contract terms. How can the market determine anything when a player gets tagged? And clearly Donald's agent is giving advise on par as the stock advise the Wolf of Wall Street gave. How can that be in the best interest of your client when you've lost him an accrued year of unrestricted free agency. That's what the elite players dream of and this agent bet it all on red and the ball fell on black. Dude, your client lost a year of leverage. How are you helping him? Is your end game renegotiating the CBA so in the future it will be easier for your to collect high commissions? This agent has some questions he needs to answer. And Aaron Donald doesn't need to tale one for the 'team' aka, NFLPA, and be the martyr that misses an actual good deal.
Donald needs to do one thing and one thing only for hilmself and that is to look at real money, not potential, pie in the sky profits of some Internet stock that's 'sure' to go up tenfold. He's losing money now.
Stop letting this agent to create a case study for the next CBA. Don't be a laboratory rat. Take charge and make real money.
