Carson Wentz

Serious question....WTF do you do when you get a check for $17.6 million, even if after taxes it will be more like $10 million? I know the prudent thing to do is to save it for retirement, but my goodness.....

First thing would be to figure out how to minimize that tax bill. I would guess it is "very expensive" to set up the "Carson Wentz" company. Then your own charity that you can donate to also. It would be real interesting how the that is all done, I'm sure the agent has the connections to the people that have it down to a science.

Do you guys remember getting those survey's from the NDSU alumni association shortly after graduating that ask you if you found a job and how you made? Carson's really going to throw off those numbers. Maybe marketing could get a hold of them. "2016 NDSU grads earned an average of $350,000/yr their first year on the job!"

Wentz expected to sign rookie contract today when he arrives for camp in Philly.
Expected: $26.6 million over four years, $17.6 million signing bonus

Not surprising, but Ian is now reporting the deal is as expected.

So what new toy will he first buy? New shotgun from Scheels or a new truck from gateway? Or both!

We now have our first millionaire in the family. He deserves every penny of it. Hard work pays off.

You talked to him lately? If so, any interesting stories of how he's handling all this?

I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities...
