So it's the extra $50k that's bothering people? Getting a contract like that and buying a car like that is not that bad. Now if he buys several cars and a ridiculous home, he may be in some trouble.
Most people purchase cars that are well over 33% of their yearly income. Not uncommon for someone making $50,000 and buying a $20,000+ vehicle.

Most people on average have an income that lasts longer than 3 years.
Its a dumb purchase no matter how you try and spin it

someone buying something like a new accord and financing it for 5 years with a decent down payment, after saving, is not the same thing as a lot of players (not necessarily saying hill falls into this) paying cash for a luxury sports car with an awful resale value that they likely don't even end up keeping for more than a couple years. it's also a lot different when the guy that is making 50k has a 30+ year career ahead of them and the guy you're talking about could be unemployed and without a degree in 3.

The problem is being stuck with that car and getting injured because you get hit on almost every play as a rb. Making zero money after 3 years. And this is before youve even touched the ball wearing your new nfl jersey. I dont care what he gets honestly, but there is a thread saying we should help former tigers when they are in trouble. Yet if i made some poor financial decisions will any of my fellow tigers help me out? I just wanted to live it up.
