Young is suing his former agent, Major Adams, and a North Carolina financial planner, Ronnie Peoples, alleging that they misappropriated $5.5 million. In some instances, the pair forged his signature or impersonated him on the phone or in emails, according to the lawsuit, filed in Houston in June.

The suit was filed five days after a New York lender notified Young that a loan of nearly $1.9 million obtained in his name during the NFL lockout in 2011 was in default. Young is now seeking to stop the lender, Pro Player Funding LLC, from enforcing a judgment of nearly $1.7 million, claiming he wasn't involved in obtaining the loan and that the proceeds went to Adams and Peoples.

''They conspired to take Vince's money,'' Dolezal said. ''It's that simple.''

Maybe he can get some of it back...

Vince Young is not out of money, he just got ripped off by his agent. He owns several restaurants in Texas that are doing well and as long as he lives in that state its a safe bet he'll be taken care of. This is a good story though because more athletes need to come out publicly when an agent or "advisor" rips them off. It happens A LOT, and athletes alot of times are too embarrassed to say something.

As a side topic, its quite remarkable Vince Young hasnt landed a "back up" job in the league. With as many games as he's won, and his history as a starter, he's more than qualified.

Smh... Horrible. He is indeed broke. And he didn't even do cool stuff with the money...

Vince Young spent $5k per week at Cheesecake Factory and other tales of how to go broke

Hope he stays more involved in his restaurants than Dan Morgan did. Those places were very popular too and they somehow went under. People were probably taking advantage of Dan and he didn't realize it until it was too late.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
