cravnravn Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I dont get it, thought you needed 10 years in the NFL to be eligible for a pension, if he retired after 8 theres no logic in that.
yagersports Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Its unfortunate things didnt go better for Kyle. Hes a good man. Rarely complained or made excuses. He can lay his head down at night knowing he maxed his potential. He just wasnt good eniugh. No shame in that. I wonder if he will become a firefighter like the rest of his family. Good luck to you Kyle.

papasmurfbell Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I do believe Billick made him worse. I don't think he was going to be some great QB but Brian hurt him by playing him early.
cravnravn Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Spoken like a true union guy. No, No realistically he screwed himself out of 16,000 grand a year.. Since he didnt make it 10 years he's only going to get 14,000 a year, after 10 years he would have gotten 30,000 grand. However, a player who retires after 10 years, can expect to receive roughly $30,000 per year in retirement which pales in comparison to the $300,000 to $3 million or more he made while active. Retired players with less than 10 years can expect to make about $14,000 annually, which is at the U.S. poverty level. http://mytensense.com/2011/03/nfl-pension-and-benefits-are-pathetic-players-dont-have-it-made/

There's a former Stanley Cup hockey player that lives in the town I grew up in. He's absolutely living the dream and I know he didn't make a killing. I think he's invested wisely and he's living within his means. My guess is that he'd be able to continue to live like this without working for a very long time. Small town, low taxes, the guy has it made. Although, I think he's still playing hockey overseas.
