Yes that’s a huge part of it. Multiple stories came out, several weeks apart, that teams weren’t able to get ahold of him pre draft to set up meetings and workouts. One team tried 7 times to contact him. Right then he’d get crossed off some team’s boards.

He also had minimal buzz heading into the draft and had no one hyping him up to teams or at least creating the illusion of interest. Why did Baltimore not take him at 25? Because they knew he shot himself in the foot and would still be available at 32, that’s a difference of 1.5 million this year between those slots.

Obviously it’s not an exact science and is speculative, but a conglomerate of 100 mock drafts had him going on average at #15, which would’ve been a $13.4 mil contract rather than the $9.4 he got, and any spot higher than that would’ve increased dramatically. https://www.sbnation.com/a/nfl-mock-draft-database-2018

So with his roughly $9.4 million contract, he saves a maximum of about 285k if he signed a full 3% commission. But I have zero doubt that he lost much more than that amount.

He's gonna make up this little bit of money and then some without an agent.

That’s fair. His rookie year he was basically a glorified running back. He’s been good this year. However, I’d still rather the Fins be in line for Tua.

Lol outside of the Miami game he’s passing for 60% 8 touchdowns and 3 INT. He’s not all world. I’ve seen plenty of young QB’s have this type of season in the NFL and then fade into mediocrity.

He’s having a good season, I’ll give you that. I’d rather wait for Tua than build a franchise around Lamar

You can’t “make up the money” it’s lost forever lol. Will he make a lot of money on his second contract so that it doesn’t really “matter”, yes, but again most likely a lot less than if he had an agent

“A good season” lol. He’s having a great season and if you take out every QB’s best game he’s still top 5 in QBR and his team is 13-3 with him as starter. Great leader too
