NFL players seeking High-Risk "Lockout Loans"

Something different than all the draft talk....

According to a financing source, these interest rates range from 18 percent to 24 percent, and upon default, they can rise as high as 36 percent.

...

"I know at least 16 different teams that have had players go out and have to set these [high risk loans] up," said the adviser. "Guys on the Dolphins, Saints, 49ers, Panthers, Chargers, Bears, Vikings."

Interesting read, who do you think the players are form the panthers? My guess is Otah so he can support his out of control junk food habit.

this will end well

would bet that the average household(let's just say around $60k'ish/year type families) have more in savings than most NFL players.

Whatever! Floor length fur coats and bling ain't gonna pay for itself. Only fools "save for a rainy day". Everyone else needs to have monogrammed diamond jewelry that can only be resold for a fraction of the price because of it being personalized.

the longer this lasts, the number of players who need financial assistance will increase... eventually the majority of the players will overrule the 10% of the ridiculously high paid players who can still afford to fight a lockout. It just takes time for over-paid, spoiled, athletes to gain perspective on the matter.

So basically, these idiots are going out and getting loans from Advanced America to pay for their lifestyle, rather than say, getting a job? That dude from our team was on the practice squad...WTF is he doing going to clubs and hanging out in the VIP? I really feel sorry for these guys.

    • We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.
    • I said years ago that RBA was another Rivera. 
    • Honestly, for me, I actually don't care all that much about being the 1st overall pick and him living up to that selection. It's the trade we made to go get him that he has to live up to for me.   You can't be even just an average starting QB after a trade like that, because if that's all we're getting out of it, we could have kept going with journeyman type of QB's or taken a shot on a Jalen Milroe type in the 2nd to get similar play but then have kept Moore and all those other draft picks to build around them.
