The Easton Stick Mega Thread

[southcliffbison]

If you are dumb with money when you are poor, you are dumb with money when you have some. Easton doesnt strike me as the dummy who buys 4 houses and 10 cars

Easton has played 2 years and earned 1.4 million. 560k in taxes. 840,000. Worst case;10% agent fee so hes made $756,000 in 2 years. Probably spent 50k training so $700k. That's assuming he isnt cut this year

He stands to make
850k next year
$965,000 in 2022

If he makes it through next year and is on the roster for 3 games hes eligible for the NFL pension which awesome when hes older. 3 years its only 21k and goes up each year, average is 42k.

There is an annuity plan which is valuable in year 5, 401k, and other payments for licensing

Severance plan with 2 years vested, it's like 25k if your out of the league

If he completes his current contract he will be borderline wealthy, but not never work again rich. If he signs a 2nd contract or keeps playing he will have fuck you money.

If he never plays another game, hes got a hell of a jumpstart at life. Hes a got a few bucks, a degree without debt and a name

No one said Easton was a dumb ass.

One can only hope so. The alternative is to go the Bernie Kosar, Warren Sapp, Vince Young, Michael Vick, Clinton Portis, et al route. All signed multi-million dollar contracts and now find themselves in multi-million dollar debt. A Sports Illustrated article reported that 78% of NFL players who are retired after only 2 years file for bankruptcy. 60% of NBA players after being retired for 5 years do the same. Reasons varied; shady investment counselors, business deals that went south, divorce settlements, and having the best friends money can buy all were significant factors in losing fortunes.

Multiple wives, girlfriends, child support and alimony.

We know that non one said that...why are you stating it?
No one said he would turn into a giant lizard robot either...do you need to tell us that too?

Actually, I did mention the thing about the lizard robot but nothing about it being giant. That would be ridiculous.

Easton came as close as you can, without getting to, to taking his first regular season snap today. 10 minutes to play, Chargers down 21-10, and Herbert gets shaken up. It's 3rd and 4, and Stick comes in, huddles up, gets into the shotgun and starts the call...I'm thinking, this is it, Easton's getting his shot...then the Chargers call a timeout, and Herbert trots back out. Damn that was so close, so disappointing...

Don’t you DARE hope for a Justin Herbert injury, Greta will have your fuckin head for that shit.

See now, that's funny.

Perhaps I'm not picking up on your sarcasm, but where did my "fucking head" say anything to suggest I might be hoping for Herbert to get injured?

It had to be disappointing for Easton since he was only a second or 2 from getting the snap, and that doesn't mean anyone wants Herbert out.

Fuck it, I will say it. I hope Herbert gets hurt so Stick can start.
