Heck, all you have to do is read the paper to know what the latest big contract was and then rate yourself accordingly. After all, Lamar is his own brand. All agents do is muddy the waters and in many cases cause disputatiousness between players and their teams.
This can't be the answer, or more players would simply opt to not have them. Agents will typically do more than just negotiate contracts. 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.
