Salary Structure: Leon Rose earns a percentage-based salary depending on how much money he is able to secure for his clients. The average agent will earn anywhere from 15-20% of all money earned by an athlete. While rival Drew Rosenhaus has claimed that he only takes 3% of his NFL client's paydays, Leon's personal cut after expenses is likely around 4 or 5%. In return for these fees an agent typically hopes to bring the client at least 5x more money through his negotiation experience and leverage.
