Because think about it: an agent takes 10-15% of the player's salary, right? But what do they do? Negotiate the salary, maybe fetch some endorsements?
A player could pay a Lawyer $500 an hour to negotiate his contract, and even if it took him a 40 hour week, the player would only be out $20,000, or 1% of a $2 million contract. Smaller contracts are even easier to negotiate, and thus take up less time. The 40 hours example is a very extreme case and it definitely wouldn't take that long but just as an illustration. Agencies have PR people, financial advisors, personal trainers, even private investigators and people who's specialty is getting you out of trouble
