He made well over $100 million before his legal troubles began, including close to $40 million in 2005 alone. He still had to declare bankruptcy less than a year after he was suspended by the NFL. Vick (aka Ron Mexico) was essentially living paycheck to paycheck on something like $20 million a year.
Some of these guys dont realize that the gravy train will come ot an end and dont prepare too well for life after football. Even these coaching and tv gigs dont pay as well as their salaries.
