Joe Haden says most people have no idea how quickly an NFL contract disappears once taxes and family expenses hit.
“I signed a five-year, $50 million contract.”
“I had about $26.6 million guaranteed.”
“My first year, I got a $12 million signing bonus.”
“After taxes, I only touched around $7 million.”
“The first thing I did was give my parents $3 million.”
“Then I bought them a $1 million house.”
“So right away, about $5 million was gone.”
“I bought my brothers cars.”
“I bought myself a penthouse.”
“I got a Range Rover Sport and a Bentley GT.”
“People hear $50 million and think you’ve got $50 million sitting in the bank.”
“That’s not how it works.”
“You look up after all that and realize you might only have around $1 million left.”
“You start understanding real quick that a $50 million contract is not actually $50 million.”
“That’s why so many guys go broke.”

Still, people saying 150 isn’t big are just trying to be contrarians. NC has never had a gathering that big.
The Lenovo Center will be closed for eight weeks starting next week for a project that will total more than $70 million.
It’s all part of a $3 billion renovation to Lenovo Center and the surrounding area.

I think when @Martyman17 decides to retire we need to beg him to become our next coach or apart of our staff or whatever the fuck he wants because his energy and love for Carolina is unmatched. 🥹🫶🏻
