He doesn’t seem very marketable. Who signed him. Just a bit of a Hawaiian runt that’s always hurt....

This is the new norm for lots of guys in the NFL. Not all are able to do this because all contracts aren't equal, but for those that can, it's the new way living. Ocho did it, Lynch did it, and many more

That is some sound financial planning right there. It is also how you do not end up in an ESPN special about broke athletes.

I have a friend who played for the Saints for one year. He said during his rookie year Steve Walsh lived on $30k and banked the rest.

Well ok, taking care of his father isn't what would break him. It's all of the hangers-on, entourage members and professional moochers that break these athletes.
