Interesting question. I found a blurb before the draft that said Reed didn't hire an agent saying he was going to wait until after he was drafted because his experience was before the draft all an agent does is take 200K from you.

His rookie deal was negotiated by Jeff Moorad, he signed 9 days after camp started. I have no idea if Moorad is still his agent.

I believe Moorad handed off all of his clients (to someone in his company) when he became part owner of the Diamondbacks.

I remember way back that David Boston didn't want an agent, he was just going to have his sister negotiate his deal because she was a lawyer. It didn't work out though - something I think in the CBA wouldn't allow him to do it. Smart though, if it would have been legal he would have saved a bunch of money in agent fees, or at least, kept it in his family by paying it to his sister.

His sister negotiated his first deal but she wasn't a certified agent, so he had to hire one and then that agent reworked his deal costing us more money.

I'm not sure if a player is required to have an agent or not, but if he does, they have to be NFL certified.

Let's start an Anquan for Ed Reed trade rumor and see if Pro Football Talk picks it up.
