I hope most teams do something like that. Read a story now where women are targeting guys in college. They monitor draft boards to see who is getting drafted, then they go find those guys on twitter, Instagram, facebook, and try to hook up with them, get pregnant or try to $$$ any way possible.

I have in my possession a book on Faith, Family and Foot and it does an amazingly job at exposing how vulnerable these men are to those scams and ladies. Families, friends and others leeches expect the athlete to place them on Easy Street for the rest of their lives. Often, veterans warn them but it is to the player to deny temptation.
It is a sad tale. From rags to riches to rags again.

Between taxes and freeloaders, I can only imagine. It is a shame.

The same way most people have absolutely no retirement savings. They're too busy living in the moment. It's way easier than you think.

I know some players come from impoverished backgrounds and have hanger-ons reaching for every dollar possible but the key is to live as you had been living before becoming rich and if what you had been living like was lower class, then you live an upper-middle class lifestyle. As the saying goes, you can live like a king for a year or like a prince forever.

Well at least your proud of your career I guess?? I mean as long as you like it being a skank who cares what the others think lol.
I remember and old story about Mike Tyson. He pissed even more money away than Walker. The best storyline was him renting the Atlantis bridge suite along with countless other suites for a 30-30 party. 30 friends for 30 nights. Everything covered by Tyson, food, drinks, gambling,entertainment......everything.
Some athletes are much more financially responsible than others....as more than a few that are (especially in football), are now able to retire well before their playing days are over...because they've done a great job with the $$$ they have earned.
One of the last person's many would have thought to be financially responsible is Gronkowski....who hasn't touched ONE GAME CHECK, as all of his current spending is done with his marketing $$$ as his game checks/salary goes straight to the bank/safe investments.
He is another player that could retire before the age of 30 and be 'set for life'...but he might still play after that just because he enjoys doing it. (Wonder what the fun factor or even the success factor will be for him after Brady retires?).
It's more trouble than its worth if you end up in debt and with creditors. If you told me that after 40 years, I'd have a retirement plan though less than $3,000 left in the bank from a starting point of $108 million, I'd consider that a life well lived. AW's problem is he didn't even reach retirement before his money was gone.
