My point is they don't see all that they make and we just hear big numbers and assume they keep it all.

Also, the majority of the players in the NFL aren't making nearly as much money as you think they are.

I know the majority of the players don't make what Cromartie makes. A guy like Julius Peppers will never have to worry about money as long as he lives but guys like Tyrell Sutton may have it tough if there is a lockout. I just don't want to hear players bitching about not getting paychecks when unemployment in America is so high right now.

Honestly. I bet you couldn't.

Simply buying a house would wipe out a pretty sizeable chunk of that. If you decide not to buy just to save money on the immediate, then you are costing your kids money in the future as they can't rent it out or sell it.

Simply having that money there would make you want to send your kids to a slightly nicer school, or settle some crippling debts.

I suppose you could just live a normal life with $1 million in the bank, but then you wouldn't be living off of it.

Well I'm just 20, no wife no kids so what I meant was me, myself and I could live off $1 million.

Ah ok. Well then yes, one single person could live off that, maybe. If you ever had dreams of becoming less than single, or develop any serious hobbies, you might be struggling. Especially if you need physio for the rest of your life after being pounded by 300lb+ football players every week.

Being younger you have less of a chance of living off that $1mil.

If you live to be 60, that's only 25k a year. If you live to be 80, that's only 17k a year.

Give it up, we'll forgive you :Angel_anim:

I don't buy the whole "we got to feed our families" thing coming from guys who makes millions of dollars by signing their names on a contract. If Cromartie messes over the money he received during his career, who's fault exactly is that? Carson said he could pretty much quit right now and live off the money he's made, and I'm willing to bet alot of players could do just that, if not most. Besides, perhaps Cromartie could borrow some money from Revis and pay him back later.

For the guys who didn't make alot of money in the NFL, get regular jobs for a year. Humble yourself, or be humbled.

With a million I could get a 5% return and clear 50k a year and still never touch my million.

You guys really don't plan on either paying taxes or spending any real money huh?

Sacrifice your body and live in a 1 bedroom apartment and drive a Volvo while your brain deteriorates until you finally commit suicide.

With good investments, and a steady job, a million is more than enough to live off of for the rest of a person's life. Obviously that million won't be the only amount of money they will have for the rest of their life. Yet it is more than enough to support anyone who is good with managing money. You will put that million to work for you, to make more money.

Have you heard most of these guys talk? Do you know a company that's going to hire someone who weighs 350 pounds and take on that insurance risk?

Where the fug are they going to work? NFL network can only hire so many intolerable ex players that think they know what's happening on the field.

:D Well, let's hope they learned something while in college. And once again, the thing is this lockout would last a year at most. (No owner would continue a lockout for more than one season) If players fall off the edge of the earth in one year of no paycheck worth millions of dollars, then something is very wrong. Warner bagged groceries for a time, and I'm sure he had a family to support.

      Go after Shedeur this offseason.

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you probably should've waited after the season is over before "going there," that way we we'd have four more games of comparison and discussion. Don't get me wrong, I occasionally go out on a limb, but Bryce just had his best game and has given people hope (which could realistically be false hope), and Shedeur just doesn't have that many games under his belt (even if he does look promising), one of them being against the Titans. No harm in being patient and letting things play out.  If you noticed, Tepper seems to be taking a wait-and-see attitude, and he didn't mention Bryce in the clip in the other thread. I'm still highly skeptical of Bryce (and glad that Sanders has shown an ounce of success), but the reality is that we have to let things play out. The Sanders train left long ago (if it was even here). But,there are more realistic options if Bryce turns back into a frog.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      imagine thinking that talking about our next opponent is "gassing up" someone.... and then lying about basic info because it's not flattering to the league's worst starting QB since he arrived.  as a starter he is 2-3 (just a fact) as a starter vs Bryce this year pass yards per game - Shough rush yards per game - Shough comp % - Shough  QB rating - Shough yards/per attempt - Shough and Shough is only good for a 2nd year rookie thrust into the gig on a bad team.   He is getting graded on a curve of what he is.  And he won the last head to head vs us, and looked like the best QB on the field that day.   there are a billion red flags when it comes to Bryce Young.  This is just another.

      Imagine gassing up a 2-4 QB for a terrible division rival with stats worse than our QB in every category except raw yards per game
