Ok here is a question for you. A rookie goes to training center to get ready for the combine. Goes to the combine visits teams and then after he is traded has minicamp practice. Once they get draft they have to move to the city that drated them and find a place to live. They dont sign a contract til training camp so how do they live for those 7 months without getting a paycheck?

I know the combine the NFL pays for their travel and teams will pay for the move to the city they are drafted.

Yeah I think Murph is right, agents or sometimes even banks give the high profile guys loans based on their future contracts.

I remember one high profile guy, Sanchez maybe, talking about some nice car he has and I was thinking...hmmm...how did he afford that being a college kid, not coming from a rich family and likely not having any kind of employment over his career in college?

(Probably hush money from Reggie Bush...lol)

I bet the agents do charge something, Squirrel, but it might not be as bad as a bank would charge. And certainly, the agent might be their only option if they aren't a high profile guy.

There's a current agent named Jack Bechta who writes for National Football Post. Perhaps that would be a question he would answer on one of his article's blogs.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
