Counter language

you can actually send.

Draft MLB counter language after analysis—option year protection, deferral limits, bonus triggers, and assignment clauses tuned to your service-time tier.

Protect the value you've worked so hard for.

One club option or deferral shift can define your earnings arc. AgentX drafts the counter before you sign.

The problem

Knowing a clause is bad is not the same as knowing what to say back. Most athletes rely entirely on their rep to write counters—or they stay silent because they do not have the words. That silence is expensive.

How AgentX adds value

1
Start from your analysis

Counter-proposals build on your uploaded contract and completed report. Red flags, scoring breakdown, and market context are already in the system.

2
Choose your tone

Professional for ongoing relationships. Firm when you have real alternatives. Aggressive when walk-away leverage is credible. The platform matches language to your tier.

3
Copy, edit, send

Export clause-level fixes and full counter memos. Review with your agent or attorney, then send what protects your guarantees, bonuses, and flexibility.

What you walk away with

  • Send-ready counter language tied to specific clauses
  • Three tone options calibrated to leverage
  • Fixes mapped to red flags from your analysis
  • Faster turnaround between review and response
  • Clear paper trail for family or compliance review

Built for

  • Athletes who want to participate actively in negotiation
  • Reps who want a first draft to refine
  • College athletes pushing back on NIL or revenue-sharing terms
  • Anyone who received an analysis and needs the next step
