How can an NFL agent maintain their certification?

Maintaining certification as an NFL agent involves both financial responsibilities and ongoing professional development. Specifically, agents are required to pay annual dues, which support the operational costs of the NFL Players Association (NFLPA). Additionally, agents must fulfill continuing education requirements, ensuring they stay updated on the latest regulations, negotiations, and industry trends. This commitment to learning and professional integrity helps agents provide the best possible representation for their clients.

The other options do not reflect the actual requirements for maintaining certification. For instance, taking a written exam every year is not part of the certification process, nor is it necessary to secure contracts with a minimum number of players or to attend NFL games regularly. These activities do not contribute to the ongoing education or certification needed to practice as an NFL agent.
