Chris Henry is "Destitute"

[joseephuss]

$360K won't get anything in NYC. Maybe a 3 bedroom condo in one of the poorer neighborhoods.

It's not like Henry's spending on million dollar homes. The price of his home is reasonable.

Don't forget ... his agent gets 15%, and I'm sure others are taking a cut of his money. Then he's taxed on the full amount. He'll be lucky to see a quarter of that $1 million signing bonus.

Sure he will have less than the total contract pays out. I don't know if his agent gets 15%. It is probably less, but not much less. Even at 15% Henry should see about half of that $1 million signing bonus.

A big factor for his money woes is probably his legal expenses. Those can mount up fast especially when you are constantly in trouble like Henry has been. If he led a different off the field life he would probably still be in good shape financially. Missing half a season means missing half of his income for that year. Stay out of trouble and you get paid and don't have to pay a lot to lawyers.

A few quick fleeting thoughts raced through my mind when reading this article and posts. It would take too long to explain them.



lol



I'll try to make it brief and to the point.

#1 Man- it would actually be alot of fun to go through that kind of money atleast once in a lifetime. Everyone should get a chance to do so!

#2 As someone smarter than myself has mentioned prior, why have payments on anything you don't have to. That's just stressful.

#3 Logically, only a fool can call someone else stupid.

#4 That dude is stupid! lol

#5 Bring him on into Dallas? Ironically like former Cinnci teammate Chad Johnson said, might as well go ahead and buy the ring.

#6 If Dallas signed him, the Cowboys would be considered a laughing stock of convicts in the NFL....actually we already are being boated out to sea on that "ship" so why not?




....oh and one more thing...if I personally had that kind of money, I don't believe I would ever be broke again, even in TEN lifetimes!

Exactly. I don't have an ounce of sorrow for him. Give most people his talent and that money and they wouldn't piss it away.

I think a couple of talents that are often over looked are mental and emotional(or maturity). Well maybe not overlooked, but just are not viewed as a talent such as speed or power.

Mental and emotional talents are harder to scout. They are harder to predict as far as growth and improvement. They are harder to determine their impact on the player and their future. Henry had questions about his mental makeup and maturity coming out of college.

When I say mental I don't really mean smarts although that does play a part. Some guys have it between the ears and other don't. That is why you have some guys overcome a lack of speed or size while others who have all the physical tools fail.

Some guys are the total package. Most guys that are the best in the game have what it takes upstairs. Henry is not one of those. If you gave me his physical tools I would probably do alright in the NFL. Give them to someone else and they may end up on the HoF. I agree that most won't piss it away like Henry.

I am a fool, but there is nothing logical about it.

Stupid is as stupid does...what a dumb-:mule: to even put himself into this situation! I'll wager the kid will be on lockdown again before the end of the summer!

These players make so much money, why are they making payments on anything??? His house was 360k and he had a 1 mil signing bonus. An SUV is what 20-30 thousand and he was making 500k a year, come on man.

I hope you never enter the world of highly paid athletes. You'd be dog meat and clueless.

Duh! let's consider his expenses.
1. SUVs and entourages
2. Trips to all points in the U.S.of A.
3. Closets of shiny-fabric suits
4. Girls in every city
5. Bottles of Crystal
6. Your own deejay for your par-tays
7. A traveling deejay
8. 2,000 relatives with their hands out
9. Can't mention this expense
10. Meals
11. Fashion makeovers for girlfriend(s); lots of hair products
12. Dry cleaning
13. guns and ammo . . .

OK, this is just for starters

You kin see how easily your money would go.

No thanks necessary; your mere presence at CZ is thanks enough.

I'm destitute.... I need every member of CZ to send me one dollar ASAP. (This will be enough to fund my trip to Texas Stadium this season)

The dollar is in the mail. Somewhere...

I don't live in somewhere... I live in nowhere! You need to send another one ASAP!!!

 

[Sarge]

Are we suppose to feel sorry for him too, because he had it rough growing up (see Michael Vick thread).

 

[Yeagermeister]

I don't live in somewhere... I live in nowhere! You need to send another one ASAP!!!
