Agree. There's a reason why a lot of these guys, even some of the big moneymakers, wind up broke within a few years of their career ending.

if we made their kind of cash, do you think we’d be dead broke?…totally on them

What’s the league minimum?

That depends on whether you're talking about veterans, rookies or practice squad players.

You can get a pretty good idea by heading over to Spotrac or Over the Cap and looking at the roster breakdown.

If you'd have handed me a big wad of cash right out of college, I'd probably be broke in short order too.

Hell, most of us probably would have been.

But hardly "set for life" money, especially if you've got a family.

No we wouldn’t 

You have a lot more faith in college age kids than I do 😄

Hell, plenty of adults don't even have good financial sense.

“Pretty good living” until you realize financial literacy isn’t taught in schools and a lot of these players have no idea what it’s like having money until their first check clears.  I don’t blame the players, I blame those who failed to teach them how to handle money properly, which a lot of players don’t have growing up.

How did cam come into play with this. As much as you guys might be salty at the way things ended he is still my personal favorite panther of all time(I smitty could also go here) and even if he is on the patriots I can't be mad. Seems we immediately crap on players that leave us even if it wasn't his choice.

So, you blame the parents ? I’m not being a smart ass, it’s a serious question.

If you are an adult and don’t have any ability to be financially literate, something went wrong along the way. Unfortunately, many of the parents can’t do it either and don’t know how to do it themselves.  I blame the system more than the parents.  Public schools need reform is the main point.
