There is no standard fee. Some people charge 5% some charge 2%. Rickie Weeks' agent charged him $500/hour.

IMHO hourly rates only give the Agent the incentive to bill for more hours. Also, the lower a commission rate, the more clients an Agent must have to make a living. An Agents' worth should be determined by what he brings to the table in terms of experience, ability & how much of his time you'll be getting.

Notice I said HIS TIME. Not his Secretary, or Assistant or Interns or Go-fers in his office, I mean the guy at the top of the chain of command.


How about 4% of everything over the first offer for a drafted player?
