why dont these teams take care of their players after they retire? like find your superstars some easy job to do inside the ravens organization...

if i was getting read to sig some big ass contract i would tell them n*ggaz to put a stipulation that after my playing days they would be required to give me some job paying at least 250k annually.

f*ck the bs

it's f*cking sad to see players having to sell off their rings man... like christ

they could become scouts or some other bs positions but eh

dudes need to get on that bobby bonilla type deal

True.. but every one wants everything up front... dudes not patient... look at magic in 81 signed a 25 year , 25 million dollar deal plus jerry buss told magic he'll prepare him for life after basketball...

Sad to say there's like only a handful of athletes that's smart enough to do what bobby b and what magic done

Atleast he didn't sell his Super Bowl 35 ring

Jamie Sharper sold his Super Bowl 35 ring last year. He got $36,000. At the same auction Jamal Lewis was trying to sell his personal Super Bowl 35 trophy.

Rings are given out to whoever in the organization the owner feels like giving them too.

This thread is about a dude who hadn't played for the Ravens since 2006,and had been out of the NFL since 2009 getting a ring

These dudes really are idiots...being the Running Backs coach or Strength and Conditioning coach at your Alma Mater isn't exactly a job that's gonna take years off your life... plus you'd get all types of freebies just cause you used to be that dude back in the day.

living modestly is just something they don't know how to cope with.... coupled with them being idiots

I hate to call them idiots since I'm not in their shoes, but I cant see it any other way......damn, if you hand me $35 mil contract right now, I PROMISE I would NOT blow thru it in this lifetime. It just ain't happening. And not only me, but my kids and their kids would still be rich.

And what's crazier is, alot of these dudes grow up poor....you'd think they'd do EVERYTHING in their power to not go back to being broke. Especially since most of them were coasted thru school by ppl who only cared about their athletic skills. Alot of them have no skills to fall back on

I can understand not having stuff growing up and now you wanna buy a $150,000 car.....ok cool. But just buy ONE.
