"In 2003 and 2004, we negotiated two contracts with ProFiles totaling nearly $70 million dollars for Pro Bowl players, Keith Brooking and Rod Coleman. Given the magnitude of the contracts, I was very involved directly and indirectly with both of the negotiations. Although Pat and Bill were very aggressive on behalf of their clients, they were, at all times, professional, well prepared, honest and clearly had their clients' best interests at heart."

Arthur Blank
Owner
Atlanta Falcons

"With Pat's football family heritage and some 20 plus years experience as an NFL agent, he knows the game, he always knows the people he's negotiating with, and he knows the nuances of the NFL salary cap, which are all big advantages for his clients."

Tim Ruskell
Director of Player Personnel
Chicago Bears

"After winning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, NFL Defensive MVP and going to several Pro Bowls, I had a lot of agents trying to pick me up as a client. However, after seeing Pat and Bill continue to get extraordinary contracts for non Pro Bowl players, I decided to hire them to negotiate my next contract, even though they weren't among the agents chasing me. My decision really paid off when they convinced the Bears to give me a one year, $18 million dollar extension, despite the fact that I still had four years left on my contract."

Brian Urlacher
Linebacker
Chicago Bears
"After five years in the league, I had been a starter for only one year. Although it seemed ambitious at the time, my goal in free agency was to get $10 million guaranteed and $4 million per year. Obviously, I was beyond thrilled when Pat negotiated a contract for me worth twice that much - $21.5 million guaranteed and $7million per year. I still can't believe it!"
Calvin Pace
Linebacker
New York Jets
"Going into the last year of my rookie contract, I probably would have jumped at most anything the Saints offered, but Bill told me to be patient, play well that last year, and he would take care of the contract. Well, after doing my part, Bill got me the biggest contract in Saints history, a $63 million dollar contract with $20 million guaranteed. It blew away my wildest expectations."
