BuffaloBill Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 You have to wonder how much the CTE situation among other injuries comes into play. If he has been smart with his money he is set for life. That may be the easy part. Wondering whether your body is too beat up might be the harder issue to resolve.

Regardless of whether he's been smart with his money, he's definitely NOT set for life. U gotta be kidding me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 LOL. Regardless of whether he's been smart with his money, he's definitely NOT set for life. U gotta be kidding me. He's made over 10 million in his career. He has less than 45 years to live. He can still work. How is he not set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 LOL. Regardless of whether he's been smart with his money, he's definitely NOT set for life. U gotta be kidding me. If he's been smart with his money he easily has 8 figures in the bank. That would set me for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I think a lot of these under 30 guys don't see the game the way players did 20 years ago. You have earned over 20 million for a few years of hard work--what motivates you to do it again next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
