YoloinOhio Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 At least he has a future in commercials
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 wow thats surprising. I have been a fan of his since college CBF
3rdand12 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 wow thats surprising. I have been a fan of his since college CBF injured last couple years i think?
BuffaloBill Posted March 14, 2016 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.
Mr. WEO Posted March 14, 2016 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?
KD in CA Posted March 14, 2016 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.
YoloinOhio Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 @spotrac B.J. Raji retires from the game having earned $26.6M across 7 seasons w/ the #Packers.
John from Riverside Posted March 14, 2016 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. You dont think if you invest 10 million dollars that you cannot live comfortably for the rest of your life?
YoloinOhio Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 @tompelissero B.J. Raji says he's taking "a hiatus" and won't play in 2016, but can't rule out a return. Thoughtful words here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/insidersblog/2016/03/14/packers-bj-raji-retiring-football/81770768/
Captain Hindsight Posted March 14, 2016 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. Seriously? If some gave me 26 million dollars over a period of 7 years, I think i could find a way to retire off that
26CornerBlitz Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 @RapSheet Part 1 of BJ Raji's statement, as he said he's taking a "hiatus" from the @NFL

Mr. WEO Posted March 14, 2016 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?
boyst Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 It is BJ and steak day! i will only offer the steak.
Mr. WEO Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 i will only offer the steak. Offering...Bone in? Rump?
KD in CA Posted March 14, 2016 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? I wonder how long Bruce Smith would have played at today's salaries. I doubt 18 years.
