this is a sad statistic, but it must be hard to be frugal in this context. Big money coming in, etc etc.

The players association probably provides some opportunities for free or cheap and vetted investment advice.

I remember seeing video of Herm Edwards talk to NFL rookies in which he said, among other things, that you only need one - only one house, only car, only one wife.....as importance guidance.

I assume an individual NFL team cannot - under the collective bargaining agreement etc - do more for the long term financial health of their players. For guys below the star level, a promise of a modest amount of $ for a long while should be valuable.......cant cut a separate pension deal I suppose.

All players should be given a max salary of 200 K a yea for first cpl years .....and the rest in an annuity so they don't waste it .too much money and fame too early..too young only spells disaster.....its hurting the responsible guys..but so is the drug/steroid policy.... It is America...and the stupid people running the government dictate what losers get your tax money through welfare stuff...at least..this is protecting the players..unlike the welfare system that supports and encourages..laziness, non-motivation and apathy for a person's future

Millionaires may want to live like billionaires, but it often just leaves them broke.
