Tom Condon negotiated some of the NFL’s biggest contracts. This is his hardest test yet

Given all he has seen, Tom Condon could tell stories for days.When he was a captain and tone-setting guard for 12 years with the Kansas City Chiefs, his nose was crooked and his neck roll thick. Then he became one of the most influential men in the modern era of the NFL.A titan of a player agent, Condon represented 79 players who were drafted in the first round, including nine who were chosen first. And another 23 first-rounders signed with him at some point after they were drafted. He represented three Bosas (John, Joey and Nick), two Kalils (Matt and Ryan), two Kelsays (Chris and Chad), two Mannings (Peyton and Eli), two Martins (Zack and Nick) and two Watts (J.J. and Derek).And that was just a small slice of his impact.Advertisement
