re: Does this sound familiar?

Foster Moreau (4th round pick, TE - LSU) just signed a contract with the Raiders. The contract is for $3,008,000 over 4 years. He receives a signing bonus of $488,000.

Do you know how long the average American takes to earn $3 million?

If you average $100,000 a year, it will take you 30 years to make $3 million.

It is well, well, well worth any athlete to capitalize on their skill as soon as they are legally able to. They can all work regular jobs after their football career is over.

Just stop with the nonsense that players should go pro unless they are only a 1st or 2nd rounder. It’s just dumb.

The guy was a senior...he couldn't come back for another year. Besides, he's a 4th rounder so his contract is NOT guaranteed. By the time he pays his agent, lawyer and the IRS, he'll be lucky to see half of that signing bonus?
You need to learn more about the process before you go running that mouth, my friend!
