Cowboy's D lineman quits by smoking pot

[deemus]

He was suspended by the NFL on March 1st. Was a free agent, made $3 million last year, was a dominant DL, and could have made $5-$8 million next year. Instead he posted a video of him smoking a joint and babbling about the NFL not allowing players to smoke pot.

He gone.

Well, good for him. Now he will have the time to go back to school and get a PHD.

That's funny.

Weedheads lives matter will protest this!

Let me make 3mil in a year.... I'd do whatever the hell I felt like doing each morning I woke up.

But don't forget, your next job will be flipping burgers.
Three million won't last that long...

Exactly. All he had to do was give up weed for a couple of years. He could have made enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life if he didn't piss it all away (which is unlikely).

Some day soon he will be flat-ass broke and will be whining about it. What a dumbass.

A play right out of the Ricky Williams playbook.

He’ll apologize and look to get back into the league once he realizes what real-world jobs pay.

If marijuana isn’t addictive, why would someone give up a $3 million per year job for it?

After tax, that is about $1.8 million. 40% income tax, plus state tax on every out of town game.

He is a manic depressive. Mental illness is a terrible affliction.

OK... my same statement applies.

If you played your cards right and managed your money, you'd be set for life with 1.8mil.

Sure, but figure the odds...

It’d be just like hitting the lottery for that amount- depends strictly on the individual as to how they’d manage it. I know I’d sure as hell, like to give it a try! (But then again, I’m already retired and managing on much less!)

However, I’d guess the odds of success for a dope head wouldn’t favor his success.

Low considering the most disheartening part of that story is the man is on opioids. Opioids are Satan's candy.

If you are 20 years old you will still have to work, but you wouldn’t have to work that much, or for that long.

If you are 45+ you could be pretty much retired.

If you are a professional athlete, you would most likely be broke in less than a year

Sure... A LOT of variables on the table.

Most pros get use to the extravagant lifestyle. Easy to go up, hard to come down.

I guess I ponder having "crazy money" and how I would handle it too often. I have the plan... just don't have the "crazy money."

Seems like he has already been hitting the mary jane too heavy.

Same here. Can’t imagine rich folks wanting to play football. That is a drag.
