On this episode, I'm joined by Brian Murphy, the CEO of Athletes First, the agency that has negotiated many of the biggest contracts in NFL history, including landmark deals for Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, Deshaun Watson, and many, many more. Murph gives us an inside look at how those deals get done, the holy grail of fully guaranteed contracts, the reason the NFL can't find 32 great quarterbacks, and much, much more.
