Agreed. Always look out for your financial situation until you’ve got enough to live life comfortably. Some have got it great and can decide if they want to take a cut. Most don’t, that’s reality. Any play can end your career.
Many professional players don’t even sniff 10 years of NFL football. It hurts as a fan but there really isn’t much after the nfl for a lot of the players and they end up burning through most of the money they earned in the pros.
