Ha Ha.....UVA Sucks.....ahhhh that makes me happy
Really that's surprising since I think all three were in CFL last year.
The Official TKP Arbiter of Opinion Validity Wet Blanket has spoken.
I bet more blue collar people get cancer than football players get CTE.

# | ODU to Host Penn State, Maryland and Michigan in June; Coach Wilder Said He Would Call Coaches Fuente and Mendenhall to Attend This could be very interesting and either works great or backfires, hopefully that 757 Coaching Clinic pays off now.
At the very least if the camps are held somewhat close to each other in terms of date it will make perfectly clear which players and schools are in which camp if they don't go to both.
We have. My points were that 1) that $2M is faulty and not accurate due to taxes, agents, and impossibility of saving every dollar you earn and 2) it's not as simple and easy as you portray it to be. Certainly anything is possible. I'll use me as an example. My family grosses much more than the numbers you laid out but significantly less than $1M/yr. Unwinding the moderate lifestyle we have to reduce down to living on $36k/yr would require years of unraveling and moving my entire family to a different area/state. While possible, it's not a position I would ever want to be in and would assume a former player would be the same.
I guess we are at the agree to disagree part of the discussion, but thanks for the quality back and forth.

Due to a salary cap, they are paid far less than their true market value.
At least NFL players can get endorsements and ACTUALLY find their true market value.
Davon Morgan, Eddie Whitley, and Derrick Bonner were all in tampa last weekend at IMG sports trying out for the Argonauts (CFL team)

Hey-ohhh!
Not that IM going to try and keep up with every former player who is playing overseas but I saw this and wanted to pass it on.

Probably not quite the risk of CTE and the complications that come from that or back/knee problems that have become prevalent throughout the NFL Alumni ranks. And the medical bills for these ailments would quickly wipe away a major chunk of that lump sum they're supposed to be living off of the remainder of their lives from their NFL days.
Of note... Bears are in a Defensive rebuild mode and were even in the Josh Norman discussion... Meaning, taking a DB at pick #41 wouldn't be all that shocking, considering their needs, and would provide them with a Fuller on each corner. That might be a first! Da BEARS!
Mike Brewer late round pick for Pats and surpasses Brady on the depth chart in training camp?
It could happen right!?
Am I on TKP or a Packers site? Either way, Malleck would be a good pick up for them purely for a Hokie-Packer connection. When they had Boykin a few years back, I'd take the kids to see him when he'd be at memorabilia signings. Of course, I was more excited than than they were. Wish Aaron Rouse would have panned out up here too.
Neither do I. This is just where I think they'll go.
you're right about that (but he and his friend looked like they had a great time LOL):

cough, cough...
They picked up Ladarius Green to replace Miller.
I would bet that the blue collar working class that fall into the compensation range we are discussing would disagree with you. You don't think a guy who works in the mines or on construction sites for 50 years has more medical bills than a guy who plays football in the NFL for two years?
Lets donate some audio equipment from our AV Department to Liberty. They can get rid of their 1970's boom box that runs on 24 D cells........and some dress slacks.
