Travis Kelce on rookie contract: "Man, I spent it all"
This is kind of a shit post and doesn't mean much, but it gives some interesting insight to the mind of one of our best players.

We all know he wasn't a great decision-maker in his younger days, but blowing through a few hundred thousand dollars in his first year is beyond insane.

Quote:
"Man, I spent it all," the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast ... "I should've been on the '30 for 30: Broke' the way I was spending!"

Here's the deal ... Kelce was a 3rd round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft and signed a 4-year, $3.1 million deal with a $700k signing bonus. Great money for a normal person but far from generational wealth!

So, how did Travis spend his first NFL checks? Shoes and a Rolex...
Quote:
...But, he has some advice for the next generation of young guys ...

"All the young guys in the league, all the guys that have the opportunity to get that big first check from the NFL -- save it!"

"Find a financial advisor that you trust, that's gonna do right with your money because I was searching around for car deals after my first year trying to just pay rent!"

Agreed. It's a "problem" I won't ever have to deal with, but I think an NFL player on his first contract is probably best off just renting until (big if) he's more established.

And he was a fifth round rookie who played two years in the NFL and only one with the Chiefs before getting cut.
That's actually sad. Imagine being that careless..

At least take your ass to IHOP. In all my years, the only Waffle House I've seen that didn't appear to have great potential for me to be robbed while I was there was in a small beach town.

Yeah, that's crazy. I do remember that now.

Didn't something similar happen to Harvey Williams back in the day? Driving a Bentley or some such around Linwood and Troost and ended up getting jacked?

He was a great listen when he was on Sirius/XM in the morning with Bob Poppa.

That why you buy a cheap house. Then rent a apartment that all bills paid in the town you play in and pay ahead 24 months so you don't worry about it when you at your house during the off season. Get a nice vehicle. Boom you set.

That was a fantastic interview. Long as hell and covered so much.

Really one of the best I've seen.


BTW, did anyone notice the signed picture of Len Dawson hanging on the wall over his shoulder?

He gained a lot of my respect when I heard him talk about his young, growing up years.

He has earned everything he has. Good guy as far as I can see.

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.

I would probably be broke and dead within 30 days with that kind of money.


I’d like to think I could make it 60 days without doing something dumb enough to end up dead.

Bueh, you are the kind of guy where if you won the lottery nobody would ever know.


Well, until you told an unsavory customer/landlord to get ****ed by a Redwood tree.

I remember my first paycheck. $21.73 making minimum wage part time at a pizza shop after school.

I SPENT IT ALL, MAN! went to Ralph's grocery and bought a big box of Coca Puffs, Gallon of milk and a bunch of bags of chips and salami. I had never been able to buy my own groceries up to then.

The roof of my mouth was shredded for days from all those Cocoa Puffs.
