He has earned 3.7 million and change as a Charger. With taxes, agent fees etc if he was able to bank 30% of that, he will be set up to permenently retire in his late 40's. Good for him, he earned every penny of it.

He's Only made $3.8 Million, I truly don't understand his decision. he should of followed Ramon Humber's plan and been a special team wizard.

Guess I'll have to buy him beers at the Otter since he's done it the last few years.

Maybe he doesn't want to deal with the life long consequences of playing anymore. A few hits to the head and you'd probably understand his decision. He's had the opportunity to live out a dream for most kids. He's a smart guy and will do well with whatever he decides to take on next. Maybe he will put his NDSU degree to work for him now. Think he went for construction management and business so he'll be fine.

Do you seriously think that Sam hasn't been hit in the head, like several times?

[OrygunBison]

I don't know if KE has any skill or interest in coaching but from what I see, he'd be an incredible influence to young men.

And I do believe he is vested in the NFL pension plan since he played 4 years.

Quoted for truth. What more could you ask for? He had a great career as a Bison and he got to live a dream not only for most kids but a lot of adults as well. I never thought I would think this but life isn't all about money. Unlike a lot of players, he is leaving on his own terms. Good for him.

The money he's made is nothing to sneeze at and if he is vested has insurance through that (not sure how that works) it opens up a lot of options after football. Should have a decent nest egg along with no student loan debt, good for him. He was a lot of fun to watch and I wish him well.

Or maybe he has an interest and the ability to get a day job and work everyday and make even more money.

Gah! I just had a thought*. He's a good-looking guy (or so I've heard - I can't tell) and he's in LA. Maybe they are pitching the Bachelor or something like that to him. Please no. I do not want to watch that kind of show.

* Shut up.
