There are no league pensions. Players have to make and save their money. Most don’t. Statistically, most NFL players are broke when they retire. K got a fat contract, so it depends on whether he saved the money or blew it. Given what a putz he is, I’m betting on the latter.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Jets took a chance on him. They’re desperate for a QB, and they’ve made plenty of dumb moves in the past.

Too bad so sad.

Watched 10 minutes of football this year.

Looks like I can live without it.

They think showing no interest is a form of punishment.

It is. It's called shunning and it's an age-old method of showing disfavor. Every decent human American should turn their back on him - wherever he goes. Until he learns not to be such a dic....or he offs himself (I'm fine either way).

Worst case scenario: he’s back in Wisconsin managing a cinnebun

...or a greeter at some sleazy casino in Vegas.

Mercury News is a racist website and has about the same credibility as the neo-Nazi Stormfront. The site should be banned from FR, IMO.

Maybe he should try his luck in Canada. They might see his disrespect for the US flag as a plus.

Until his Muslim girlfriend convinces him to kneel for "Oh, Canada"

NFL players have a pension. They become vested after three seasons and they can draw monthly check at 55.

Actions have consequences. Liberals are genuinely astounded when they learn this fundamental law of nature for the first time..........as adults. Whereas most of us learned it as children and wised up early on.

But OJ has been living off his 25k a month NFL pension since he was aquited for murder. So there is a retirement, right?

I'd bet that over 90 percent of the coaches and players and scouts too would tell us that he's just not a good player any more.

The dude is as over as last week's gallon of milk, and being a sanctimonious asshole only compounds his over-ness.

Over the years I have been on a lot of teams....and he is not a team player, he brought disgrace to his team by his selfish self centered actions....I would have tossed him off immediately.....or at least ordered him to remain in the locker room until the real athletes had stood for the anthem.
