His salary this year: $825,000 with $160,476 in signing bonus


He has to pay taxes on that, his agent gets a cut, other people who work for him or represent him get a cut, he has to pay for cost of living like anyone else. A lot of people see these big numbers but don’t realize how far it really gets you. It dries up almost immediately.

Sounds like poor money management.

Also, to the other poster, the medical bills from all this will be covered by the NFL.
