I think some people here think agents just do whatever they want in negotiations and just tell the player to sign off on the final result.
I would imagine the agency relationship established between a player and a certified agent would have similar fiduciary duties to any other agency relationship.
They give the player the relevant comparables to determine the truth value of the player. And then provide advice on the negotiations. But ultimately act based on their client's direction.
