I have said this before. Mayock does favors for players, agents, and coaches. Heck he even did it for BB with Mallet one TC. I can still hear his voice ringing through my head, "He POPPED today at practice" Yikes.
Mayock is a good listen and an intelligent guy but you have to take everything with a grain. Palmer is included in that, even if he isn't being paid by Allen his comments and results will still impact his financials.
