re: 78 percent of NFL players are bankrupt...within two years

What constitutes a NFL player? Is every undrafted free agent considered an NFL player?

It's not that surprising that the percentage is that large when most of them might be on a team for a couple years max and most aren't signing multimillion contracts.

Ding. Ding .Ding.

This

.That is why most names of all of these bankruptcies, which are public record , are never released in the articles. 99% of them would be unknown.


It's headline grabbing sensationalism & those envious of pro athletes eat it up.


CNN Headline did a teaser recently about a Dallas Cowboy arrested for murder & I wondered had Irvin ,Aikman,Smith,etc...had gone & done it.

When they returned from the commercial it was a 2 year Practice squad guy I had never heard of. But if one says NBA, NFL,etc.....people will tune in/read. He probably is one of those ex 'NFL' bankruptcies .


If I sign a ten day contract with the Lakers I am an ex NBA player.
