See: advanced lines of credit from agents, followed by 70% of NFL players bankrupt within 5 years out of the league.

That two-part 30 for 30 dealing with that was just sad. Those guys are preyed upon so viciously it's a shame.

A friend of mine, who passed about a year and a half ago, was the #2 pick in 1985. His father insisted that his rookie contract be structured so that at the time of his death he was still being paid a nice sum from that original contract.

I think the NFL, and the teams, fail the kids in that respect for their first contracts. They need much more guidance.

NFL has a mandatory meeting with rookies on how to manage their money, I believe. Most just don't listen.

Detroit gets the stud lineman Sewell. He's going to spend the next 12 years in Detroit, make a fortune, and finish with a .279 winning percentage.

Dan Campbell is going to surprise as a HC. I think he is the perfect guy to lead that franchise out of the history of suck to at least playoff contention

Unless the Texans trade 8 draft picks for him in like 3 years....then he will finish with an even lower winning %

Check back in few years. Don't think this will be a good start and they are Detroit.
