How much do NFL agents make?

According to sources, sports agents make between 4-10% of a player's contract. However, this dips slightly for the NFL, where rules prohibit agents from taking home more than a 3% commission of the player's salary.

The agent's final take home depends on the contract, which ranges from $60,000 to millions in the National Football League.

Agents can also make up to 10-20% of endorsement contracts they negotiate for clients. It's a job that can certainly pay well, but it does come with long hours and hard work.
