Kelce had it right. These young players should be hiring a money manager as soon as they sign a contract.
Young people do stupid things with money, period. The first year I made six figures I spent almost all of it on stupid crap, because I was like 23 or something and had next to no idea what I should've been doing. I think a couple months in there I was still taking money off credit cards to pay the rent.
the next time I broke six figures I was much smarter about it, but still did some dumb things, because holy crap, six figures for a single guy is a lot of money. One of the few smart things I did was buy a house and open an investment account, or I might've blown most of that money as well.
