As an experienced attorney/agent for over 20 years, Bus has built a reputation unparalleled in contract negotiations. His negotiating efforts have resulted in numerous record-breaking contracts and landmark deals that set the stage for other agents to follow including the NFL’s first $100,000,000 contract negotiated almost ten years ago for 3-time NFL MVP Brett Favre and more recently the innovative guaranteed payment structure for Calvin Johnson’s record-setting rookie contract with the Detroit Lions. Through the years Bus has personally negotiated contracts for his clients totaling well over $1 billion.
Bus is a certified contract adviser with the NFLPA, MLBPA, and the NBPA, and one of the very few agents who has represented first round picks in football, basketball, and baseball.
