His mom is a real piece of work.
It just doesn't make any sense to not have a reputable, experienced, and respected sports agent to represent you. He's going to be offered in the neighborhood of $250-300 million over 4-5 years and he wants to spare the expense of having an agent earn his 3-5%? It's just a stupid idea. There's specific language in those contracts that agents immediately understand and don't need to be explained to. Even though he'll have a lawyer present during negotiations, I'm sure the Ravens front office is thrilled to death to negotiate with Lamar's momma.
