i disagree, you're basing your arguments on many hypotheticals, when in reality, based on actual figures, the median is 3 million over 3 years. that is much better than 3 million over 30 years.
how ex-NFL players spends their money is their business, however, using that example, they have 12 years to do something beneficial with it.
can a non athlete take 12 years to live on past earnings to figure out what to do with the rest of it?
