I know the contract was shortened and he had to give some of the signing bonus back after being caught playing flag football on the beach when he was supposed to be rehabbing, but still, where does all of that money go. Give me $1 million and I'll find a way to live off of that for the rest of my life. This guy probably cleared at least $10 million after it was all said and done and he's involved in all sorts of criminal capers.
