.... in the league and even if he makes the minimum that a 9 year player
would get he still might be too expensive for the market. If he doesn't
sign w/a new team then if some other punter gets hurt or is not getting the
job done for his team then Chris might get picked up by that team during the
season.

He was paid 8.3 million $s from the Vikings from 2007 to 2012 so if he
is 1/10 as smart as he seems then he and his family should be more then
comfortable for years to come.

After hearing Kluwe speak a few times I have no doubt that he will do well
in whatever field(s) he goes into. I think he would be a good High School
teacher and coach.
