Contract Negotiations

We have been on the side of the player and we have been the player. We have played the game physically and at the table. RDI Sports Management understands the financial landscape from all perspectives.

Our collective experiences, having negotiated hundreds of deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars in sports and in business is unsurpassed. Each contract we negotiate is important and receives all of our collective efforts. With every contract, there are extenuating circumstances, which make it a unique challenge for us.

We do extensive research on salary cap issues, previous contracts and market conditions to negotiate the best contract possible for our clients. This process also allows us to assist you in maximizing your full market value. We have set several market standards with our record breaking contracts. Our one on one communication allows our clients to follow the progress of their negotiation.

In order to effectively negotiate superior contracts, an agent must be thoroughly prepared, creative, bold and well respected throughout the NFL. In addition to the dollar amount, the structure of the contract, including length, incentives, bonuses and options are equally significant. In recent history we have negotiated several of the richest contracts for our clients making them the top paid players at their respective positions.

Personal Services

Education is the cornerstone of our program. We want our clients to learn as much as they can about business, personal management and life, as this will allow them to grow and mature over time.

This independence is vital to the growth and lasting partnerships between RDI Sports Management and our clients. As we grow with our clients, we ultimately hope to develop young athletes into first class professionals that are knowledgeable in the many facets of life and are continually productive in society.
