This seems like a contrived story by the agent to make his client look like a great guy for turning down endorsements "in deference to Smith." PLEASE. Mahones was the BACKUP. What endorsements was he being offered, "Sparco Clipboard"? Also, even if he was offered endorsements, his agent knew he'd make a lot more with endorsements this year as the starter. Spare me the "look at how great my client is, he did this for Alex Smith."
