Players like this guy need to teach ALL professional athletes how to manage their money:

quote:

Kamara says that after four seasons in the NFL, he has yet to spend any of his football money from either his rookie contract or massive extension with New Orleans.Instead, he lives off of the money that he earns doing endorsements. But Kamara is picky about what he lends his likeness to, partnering only with companies where he sees a future working together.

 


They may not all get endorsements but that doesn't mean they can't use their money wisely.

Sound like he did what Marshawn Lynch has been doing for years.

Lynch hasn't spent a dime of his NFL salary

I always enjoy seeing a pro athlete from a rough childhood being smart with his money but let’s not act like his endorsement money is peanuts

What companies does Kamara have endorsements with?

I honestly don't know and can't think of any ads I e seen him in off the top of my head. Except for maybe a milk commercial...or am I thinking of someone else?

Somehow the frugality is more baller than blowing it all on mansions and benzes.

Simple as that. He'll never end up broke and he'll take care of his family for generations.

Props to him, but this just drives home how absurd it is that so many of these dudes end up broke. Debt free college degree and a minimum salary of 600K for one year in the league. plus I can't imagine that 90% of NFL players can't bring in five figures from appearances and endorsements between their home towns, college towns and whatever city they end up in.
