This player is smart to save money.

And those are two smaller older looking houses that seem to have been the families’ homes for many years, not ones he bought them. They broke their lease in NY or NJ to move in with their families.

What irked me was that the guy says he has been planning for this since he and his wife got married (when he was a rookie I believe). In fact, the size and cost of their wedding reception was downsized because of finances. That’s good, that’s smart. Then they go right out and have a kid. Nothing says “being smart financially” like having a kid right away when you believe you won’t have any money soon.

No paychecks coming in so he moves in with the parents. Doesn’t matter how much he has, it matters where it is. Could be in CD’s, retirement accounts or any other investment vehicle that has a penalty for early withdrawal.
I am sure he has a cushion of ready cash and is just being prudent about how it is spent.
If the family didn’t want him back, he wouldn’t be going back.
Haters keep hatin! Petty, miserable lot you guys are.

don’t you have to know who your parents are before you are able to move back in with them? i think it will be hard for most nfl players to follow this guys lead

HaHa…….D.D. Question, speaking of parents did your’s have any children that lived? I see you have alot of time of your hand since playoff time is free for you…

Sounds to me like they probably have already blown all of his money and rather then this being a move of intelligence or maturity it’s probably the result of neither.

Even a player making the league minimum should have substantially more than the average person. Tells something about this guy’s lack of ability to manage his money.

Do tell, how familiar are you with this guy’s finances? Maybe he bought his parents that house. Maybe he’s spread his success around the families. A couple of houses for their parents, a couple of new cars…and this cat didn’t get the mega-signing bonus either.

I know many parents who would love to have their kids back, if only for a short while.

Or just insult the guy without knowing all the facts.

If he made several hundred thousand in a two year career, that gives him an annual salary of over 150k (and that’s conservative). I don’t know about you, but I don’t know of any person with a six figure salary needing to live with their parents. I think this goes to show how out of touch with reality the players seem to be.

I think the owners are probably equally out of touch as well when they keep asking for public money to replace stadiums that are barely 20 years old.

This guy has made more income in two years than my mom probably made in 20. Good thing she’s not his mother, she’d have laughed in his face if he asked to move back home under these circumstances, especially this early into his “layoff”.

Is he also one this guys that puts a note on the thermostat in the winter that says “Don’t touch! Wear a sweater!”?

I have no sympathy for these guys… he’s earned at a MINIMUM $700,000 over the last two years. The fact that he can’t survive without moving in with his parents after that kind of headstart in life is insane!
