Fairley demoted to second team defense

If I already made 68 million I would work for 8 an hour.

well...if I had $68 million I would not work at all...let alone $8 per hour!

 

[Mitchrapp]

you can...but you would be a moron.

Not if no one offered $14.

Exactly. Suh got that already. He's set for life and he plays a game for a living.

Wanting 14-16 over 11-13 million PER YEAR is just ego at this point. And the agents wanting more money for their firm.

if he can get $3-$4m more per year it could allow him to retire earlier, live a better lifestyle, give more to charity, leave more for his kids & grand kids, etc...whatever he wants to do with it.

Leaving that money on the table would be dumb IMO...he only has so much time to make his money.

In case you missed it. The reason why I mention is it was posted that an agent won't let them take what what they want..is that true?

He can retire right now and be set with 68 million. He doesn't even need a second contract

You don't need more than 68 million. Most players don't see that type of money. Suh is set already. He'll still get 10/12 per year which is a ton of money. You don't need 14/16 because of your ego. He's a bitch if it's about money.

So.....if Suh has made 68M.....probably 34 of that has gone to taxes. So that leaves approx. 34m left.

Another 4m to has agent. Probably about 1m to his lawyer. That leaves 29m or so. Clearly some of that has been spent......let's say 15m or so.

Now were down to 14M.

I'm not trying to defend greed.......but I 100% agree with Tom......I would make as much as I can while I'm healthy enough to do it. It's the NFL......one concussion or neck injury could end a career. I'd be pretty pissed if I would have left money on the table if that happened.

Depends on what your definition of "all set" is.

Would he HAVE to work. Probably not.

He would if he wanted to keep up a lavish lifestyle. There is an almost ZERO percent chance he's saved enough to live another 60 years at the lifestyle he AND HIS FRIENDS/FAMILY are used to. It's not just him he's trying to provide for. You gotta remember that.

Either way. You're talking the difference of probably 30M over the course of the rest of his career.

WAY too much to give up at this point. It's not greed.....its common sense.
