Correction. Lynch played NINE seasons. If he needed money he'd be a fool, SK.
I hope and assume he's cashed up and diversified in his investments enough to never think about money again.
I read a report he has not either cashed or used a dime of that. He has lived off endorsements, and his fame. Nothing fraudulent or shifty at all. If he has pulled that off he rises way up in my list of smart stars. To have it all when you leave. Nice.Originally Posted by Storekeeper
^ For sure he made few million endorsing Skittles.
Just my two cents ... If I was him and could pass the physical for the $9 million remaining on the contract I'd be "reporting for duty" ... even if I didn't care to play another down ever ... ... I'd scam the Seahawks (Or the Raiders) if that's what it took to top up my stack of Benjamins ... 55555!Originally Posted by Black Heart
Farewell To Beast Mode | Seattle Seahawks
"A franchise-altering trade that almost didn’t happen
Before Lynch could become the identity of Seattle’s offense, the team’s “heart and soul,” as receiver Doug Baldwin has described him, the Seahawks first had to acquire him from Buffalo. Carroll, who had coached against Lynch in college, was a big fan of the back, and he wanted to add Lynch to his team before the 2010 season. Buffalo said no to early trade proposals, and only gave in after a lot of persistence from Schneider".
Nice article in the link to see the entire thing.
The trade was certainly the best thing that happened to Lynch.... in Buffalo he was an average player with expanding problems off the field.... something seemed to click in Seattle for him.....
Can't say I'm sad to see the back of him....
^ A friend showed me pictures of the 'modest' $2.9 million dollar house he owns. Really nice place and it is 'modest' by the standards of what you see many sports professionals buy.
Yeah, he's been smart with his money.
There are lots of stories of former NFL players going broke and filing for bankruptcy.
Lots of story.
Too each their own, but it's foolish. Going from never having to worry to know you will never make that kind of money again.
Terrell Owens is the poster child for been broke. Crying on TV. Warren Sapp is broke.
