If a player changes contract advisors after a few years, what amount does the original advisor typically receive if their contract value is renegotiated?

When a player changes contract advisors, the original advisor typically receives a percentage of the original negotiated salary if the player's contract is renegotiated. This is based on established practices within the sports management industry, where advisors are compensated for their prior work in negotiating the initial contract.

The rationale behind this is that the original advisor's efforts contributed to the establishment of the player's contract terms. Therefore, upon renegotiation, the original advisor is entitled to a share of the contract amount that they helped secure, often in the form of a percentage of the originally negotiated salary. This approach recognizes the investment and effort made by the initial advisor, even after the player opts to switch representation.

In contrast, other options do not align with typical practices. For example, receiving the full new contract amount or half of the renegotiated amount would not be standard as it overcompensate the original advisor. Similarly, not receiving anything if the contract is terminated would undermine the advisor’s role and contributions prior to the change.
