Its not inconceivable that sometimes players would like to avoid free agency all together. I mean its the equivalent of a regular person having to go out and find a new job/employer. Pretty stressful situation to be in. A good agent will advise the player whether they think they can get a better deal somewhere else or the market is to saturated with talent and it might be better to resign with team X. Of course an agent wants to get their player the most money, because of that 15%.
