(16,113 posts)Is this one of the things the NFL has been suggesting to incoming rookies for a few years? If so, it's better advice than "make sure you have a fall guy".

Plus, if he's "living" on 5 million a year now, that $49.7 million salary should get him about that much each year if invested well.

(65,248 posts)If "living" means he's buying homes now, he won't have to buy new homes every year after retirement. That will be settled business.
Also, he won't be paying 10 or 15% for representation.
