Best Answer

A sports agent negotiates employment for an athlete. In return, the sports agent will generally get 4-10% of the athlete's playing contract and 10-20% of the athlete's endorsement contract. Although, in the NFL, the agent is not allowed to get more than 3% of the athlete's contract, and not more than 4% in the NBA.
