Happy for Koa. Great kid deserves to be paid. Wonder who will protect all those expensive LBs next year without Starks & SoliaiJordan @jords_mac 1h
@davidcanter who says Soliai isn't staying? ;)David Canter @davidcanter 1h

@phinfan2003 not up to me & sadly were fed up with their tactics
There's a whole lot more there, it's all grossly unprofessional and bitter. At the end of the day though, I think they most certainly need to be paying Soliai like a rotational player or letting him walk. A two-down Nose Tackle needs to be pretty dominant to justify a big price, and that hasn't been Soliai since his breakout year. They will hopefully focus on finding a guy who can do the job as well and rush the passer.
Lol Canter wants Ireland out...nobody likes that guy.
RT @IamJClary: @davidcanter Not all deals get done while player still in contract, perhaps patience is a virtue.

SamphinNew MemberGotta love agents. He is in a pretty safe spot in that Soliai is going to get paid, regardless. Nonetheless, it would be sweet to see Ireland go all Ned Colletti on Canter and just completely freeze him and all of his clients out, going forward.
I hope for David and Paul's sake that he has a great, non-injured year. Otherwise, this will come back to bite him.
Unlucky 13subscriberI dont see any way that we sign both Starks and Soliai after the season. Odrick takes one spot, and we resign at most one of them, but maybe let both walk if their cash dreams are too big.

Well Barry Jackson says we've made offers to both...

Can't negotiate a deal with Starks till after the season though right?

I think it will be, and probably should be both. They're pretty good players who look dominant at times, and they're both in a position to make more money than they are worth on the open market.

RickyBobbyNew MemberIf I was Paul I wouldn't be happy about my agent doing this.
Clark Kentforum_veteranGood, We don't need soliai. We need Randy Starks more, but were apparently lowballing him too. Hopefully well get something done next off-season.
MrCleansubscriberSoliai should find a better agent. Canter is pretty unprofessional doing what he does on twitter.

He certainly isn't helping his client.

I don't see why you should hate them, their job is a bit opposed to your interests as a fan, but they're also paid to do a legitimate service for a player.

Players started using agents because teams would not negotiate with them in good faith and fairly otherwise.

I just don't have much respect for them. They have too much say and power regarding a players career. My opinion of them goes way back. Just look at the Elway 83 fiasco. Marvin Demoff threw in that Baseball crud. That's what Agents do imo. They play the game. They rock the boat because they can. It is what it is but i just think agents are there for one reason. $$$ Just my take.

They aren't operating contrary to their clients wishes, and part of their job is to take the public relations heat for the player.
RoninFin4subscriberInteresting. This is contrary to what Barry Jackson said earlier this offseason.

Of course an agent wants something to change when a team is leaving $20M in their pockets that could be going to players.

If true, it's another reason AJ Francis should have made the final 53.

Paul 13moderatortrying to read thru all Canter's tweets... he seems to be holding the Sean Smith (he is Sean's agent too) contract negotiations against the team. He's doing Soliai a disservice if he doesn't separate the two players.

Gotta love that biased money orientated opinion. Does this clown have a crystal ball up his a**? No.

That's the problem with them, and the main reason I can't stomach them, is their never-ending conceit and sense of entitlement. Yes, they're a necessary evil to keep the NFL and their franchises from sticking it to the players on sh***y contracts/deals, but when they try to act like they believe they're a bona-fide celebrity themselves, they can suck it. High paid leech this guy.

Right...last I checked, the guy that makes that decision has a MUCH fatter bank account than this roach.
