They run lead on marketing opportunities and sponsorships as well. They are also more familiar with the intricacies of how to advantageously set up a contract for the players. They definitely provide a benefit for the players. 

Wasn't the narrative a year ago when Jackson was playing without a contract and he got injured that he should have known better and paid an agent rather than rely on his mom to be his agent?  I don't know if his mom is qualitied for that stuff, I'm just saying that I think he was being laughed at a year ago for this stuff, but managed to "alls well that ends well" his way out of being a long-term laughingstock. 


I personally assume agents are another of those jobs that people just assume anyone can do and they don't do anything but take money.
