    It’s called professional football for a reason.
     

    Teams will replace a player in a heartbeat and not just for someone better - sometimes it’s for someone younger and cheaper. I will never blame a player for wanting and taking the money when and where they can get it. A career can be over in a single snap.
     

    Players do want to win (the occasional one just wants the money and then just doesn’t care - Jamarcus Russell for example). To get to the NFL you have to be unbelievably competitive and most players hate losing. But it’s a short and brutal career, you get paid when and where you can. 

    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.
