Ever notice this

I never really paid that much attention to this until this year, but I could not help but notice that several NBA draft picks, just drafted like a week or so ago, have already agreed to contracts with their respective teams. Meanwhile in the NFL, no first rounders have signed, not sure any second rounders have either, and their draft was almost 3 months ago. Does that make sense?

I think the real reason for that is agents in the NFL seem to only be concerned about their cut so they have the player hold out long and hard for more money. Even if the holdout may cost the player more money long term, as holdouts often do, the agent does not seem to really be truly concerned about their clients well being.

What do you think of the situation? These days a first round pick in the NFL holding out is so common that you hardly even notice anymore unless the pick belongs to one of your favorite teams.
