We acting like 44k a week isn’t still a stupid amount of money?
This is reddit bro. Anyone that makes over 100k a year is an evil oppressor, except running backs, and late round QBs. Running backs and late round qbs deserve generational wealth.
“anyone that makes over 100k is an evil oppressor, except running backs and late round QBs” is an elite sentence
That does seem to be the premise of the article, as though there are not tons of people in the tri-state area who make that in a year.
It is, but also isn’t in high cost of living places. Gotta imagine he won’t be getting 44K/week for the rest of his life. Hope he’s saving it wisely. He can start a business or something when his career is over
Yeah, he lives in New York. Isn't that minimum wage?
He lives in New Jersey
But yeah basically that's not much. Can't even buy a house near where he lives for 400k
I mean imagine if he makes 744k this year (44x17) and gets cut. He’s set up real wel, but if he was living in New York instead of with his parents a good portion of that is down the drain and he would have to find a new job that wouldn’t pay nearly as well. He’d be set up well for sure, but I wouldn’t consider him wealthy in this economy in New York
It's a ton but how long do you think he has in the league
It's all relative. The injured starter, Daniel Jones, made $2.7 million yesterday if you divide his 2023 total payments across 17 games.
He's one of the most important employees of a multibillion dollar organization. He is absolutely being underpaid.
