Even if make the practice squad you make $129K

Now is it worth it for the physical punishment? Maybe not.

As far as generational wealth. Well, that is up to the player. Hell, I don’t make anything close to 480K and I’ve prolly saved more money for my kids in 3 years than some athletes who live check to check and take out dumb loans to keep up with other players who are balling out.

I’m not saying the system is perfect, it’s far from it BUT these players have chances to make moves and pimp the system while they are in it if they want. Do they want to party and bullshit or take classes that can help them manage their assets?
