You do understand that the players really have no part in contract negotiations and leave it mostly up to their agents?

Maybe some team would be willing to give up a 1st and 3rd next year and a 2nd Rounder the year after. Then the Saints should sign Jermichael Finley to a deal.
Um ... now that's just plain dumb ...

I do understand that but I also understand that players usually choose their agents and they prolly talk to their agent from time to time about their contract.

No. Many people actually think the players are driving negotiations while, in reality, it couldn't be further from the truth.

Aren't we saying the same thing? It's the agents job to get the most money for his client he can...

Every agent worth a crap makes sure that their client understands that anything whatsoever to do with contract negotiations will be handled by the agent ... before the agent even agrees to represent the player. Without this absolute trust the agent cannot do his, or her, job. The player is simply a spectator, especially in the case of a first major contract.

... which is a percentage of what the player gets. Exactly. That is the motivation to get the best deal possible. Don't blame the players.
