We're also accustomed to the draft, and that's how talent is dispersed throughout the league. But when you think about it in more of a macro level, it's a pretty incredible process. I mean, you're told... as a recent person coming out of college where you're going to work.

I know when I graduated law school, if someone had called me up and said, you've just been drafted by a law firm in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and that's where you're going to go, I would have said, you want to bet? But obviously, these guys go, most of them very happily, to whatever team drafts them. The process, though, really is we're trying to achieve generational wealth for our clients.

And I know it's a buzzword and a cliche, but it's really true. The goal needs to be that when the player is done playing in the NFL, whether they play four years or 14 years, that they can retire with enough money in the bank so they can do whatever it is they want to do with the rest of their life because it's a passion, not because they need the paycheck.

And so unless you're a, I'm going to call it a top 20 or 25 pick, you're really not getting that generational wealth from your first contract. So we're really all in this game to help our clients achieve a second contract. And if they're really blessed, maybe a third and a fourth contract.

If you can get that bite at the apple where you've performed well enough, where there's multiple teams interested in you, that's where the leverage maybe flips and it's on the player's side. It doesn't happen to a lot of guys. And I'm sure you've heard the average career span of an NFL player is 3.3 years.

Certainly, compensation, anybody that says that's not number one is probably lying. Even if the player has made that sort of money over the course of his career to achieve that generational wealth, the compensation is still going to be the primary factor.

And then the team itself, the talent that the player is surrounded with, teammate-wise, the coaching staff, whether or not the team is anticipated to be a playoff Super Bowl team, these are all things that I would say are a little bit more important to players than the workplace conditions.
