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.

      Yes. He needs to work on turnovers and accuracy.

      Some of this was good offensive playcalling against our front (the 4 & 1 for example).  But interesting on that one it was our 3-4 personnel but we technically had 5 with hands in the dirt.  I wouldn't call that a 5-2 but it's what 3-4 teams do in these run commit scenarios.  So that playcall restricts us from having 1 more guy to be more fluid in space on the strong side, and we lose lateral containment.        Good job by our new safety to call it out presnap, but bad execution by Wallace and Jackson IMO.  Trevin with the error.  He saw the motion and shifted but took an initial angle towards the handoff not the anticipated location.  Bad field awareness.  So he was now behind and the Jags had 2 guys to engage Jackson & Moehrig on the outside.  Jackson just kind of sloppily engaged Strange.   Outside of that, one of the biggest things I'm noticing is a severe, and I mean severe, lack of presnap communication on our defense.  It just seems to be Moehrig.  He had some iffy angles this game but was far and away doing the most to get our guys in the right place presnap.  I think Moehrig is trying to do everything and then some so he's going to be caught out of place because of this.  Rozeboom and Wallace aren't doing that (and other things) which is a major concern.  Rozeboom took such a excessive first few steps in that last clip, he just gave the Jags a cozy opening to float in a completion.  You could see he was pissed.  The 2 ILBs in our scheme need to be communicators and quick decision makers.  Trevin has the quickness but not the awareness or decision making.  Rozeboom doesn't have the quickness and is just average/below-average.   We need help there if we want any sort of decent defense this season.  The line and OLBs have the ability to stop the run, but not when these 2 are making terrible decisions and allowing teams to play in the middle of the field.
