Vince Young out of the NFL, out of money

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-400_162-...-out-of-money/

There's a lot more to it, but a couple excerpts:

Quote:

Six years after entering the NFL as the third player taken in the draft, Vince Young finds himself without a team and with just a fraction of the money he received from a contract that guaranteed him $26 million.

The question is, where did it all go?

In an increasingly caustic war of words, attorneys have been arguing for months over whether Young is an out-of-control spender who put himself deeply in the hole or simply a victim of inexperienced advisers, one of whom was his own uncle.

Either way, the quarterback whose future seemed unlimited after he led Texas to a Rose Bowl victory in 2006 is now back home in Houston and in a tenuous financial condition.

"I would just say that Vince needs a job," said Trey Dolezal, Young's attorney, when asked to give a general assessment of his client's finances.

-----

"This is a person scrambling helplessly and pointing in all directions to blame others to get out of debt," said Charles Peckham, Adams' attorney.

Adams twice wrote checks to himself from Young's accounts, but both times were out of necessity, including once when the agent was required to use personal funds to charter a plane for the quarterback after he missed a team flight, Peckham said.

Sad. So sad. Such a waste of talent.

He is better than Cassel

he'll commit suicide I bet....Sad and horrible to say but it's most likely what the outcome would be.

**** no he won't.Let me find someone stupid enough to give me $60 million and I'll make damn sure to keep it!

Surely he can get a job playing somewhere.....UFL, CFL, Arena League.

There's no reason he can't play in Canada.

Good call. I remember that stuff about his wonderlic. 6 or something similar, right?

Don't feel sorry for these idiots one bit. They should have hired Reighters to advise them.
