He lost his chance to be the Chiefs all time leading rusher, which probably hurts his ego more than any cash issues he faces hurts his wallet. He'll have to be lucky to be signed by another team, stay healthy and keep his mouth shut to make anywhere near the money he was going to get if he had done those things with the Chiefs...in essence he lost all his job security.
He may still be getting a little 'cake' from the Chiefs, but that alone doesn't make him a winner.

So how much did he make between the day the Chiefs drafted him, and the day he has Scott hand him that last check?
