Well, maybe he didn't make a mistake!
ALL just made more money than 1/4 or half of americans make in 20 years. I think he made the right decision. If he can hang on for 4 years his nearly 5 million dollars made will be way more than even some very good earning americans make in 30 years who are averaging $100,000 a year.Erick signed a 4 year, $4,813,104 contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, including a $793,104 signing bonus.

Good for Eric! I believe he has all the tools to be a great NFL tight end.
Too bad Tony Moeaki wasn't playing in this eraas injury prone as he unfortunately has been, I think the sooner he got paid the better
$1,588,104 for his first season is not too shabby.
Not only that but that much cash sooner is better. Time is the biggest and best lever there is if you can pull in the cash early on in life.ALL just made more money than 1/4 or half of americans make in 20 years. I think he made the right decision.

If he stays healthy, performs well and is smart with his $, he could be set for life, even if he never lands the huge guaranteed contract. Unfortunately, all 3 of those things are still big question marks, like they are for just about all professional athletes.ALL just made more money than 1/4 or half of americans make in 20 years.

If he invested it well, he is very wealthy today.Hard to believe 15 years have passed since Tony played for the Hawks.

Agreed!
And those low hits need to be addressed, imo.
TJ Hockenson's knee got torn apart by a similar hit.
