Now just for a laugh, let's look at Josh Gordon:

Gordon

Years in League 7
Contracts $5,620,000
Wealth After Agent Fees $5,451,400
Fines $2,091,000
Wealth After Fines $3,360,400
Wealth After Taxes $1,949,032
Spending $974,516
Savings After Spending $974,516

Average Annual Spending in Playing Career $139,217
Average Annual Spending After Career $38,981
Average Annual Spending After Career w/ No Fines $87,492
Impact of Fines 55%

His fines and suspensions are the difference between a post-NFL income of $39,000 and $87,000. That's a notable difference in quality of life. And that's not even considering the costs of marijuana.

Also, given the income losses, even his standard of living in his playing career is only about $139,000 a year. That's not an NFL life.
