I’ve read that most of the athletes declare bankruptcy within 4-5 years despite the millions. An average NFL career is 5 years or less
Former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown has filed for bankruptcy. According to the Times Union, Brown owes nearly $3 million to eight different creditors as stated by paperwork filed on May 15 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida. He reportedly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which involves the court-supervised reorganization of a debtor’s assets and liabilities.
Brown made over $88 million as a player, but he currently claims he has less than $50,000 in assets.
That amount includes a $1.2 million court judgment to Anton Tumanov — a moving-truck driver who sued Brown for assault and battery during an altercation in 2020. It also includes money owed on a credit card, a marketing firm and a law firm, among other debts.
Brown’s own media company, CTESPN Network confirmed the bankruptcy filing via social media earlier this week.
“NFL legend Antonio Brown has filed for bankruptcy today,” the post read. “He will be a first ballot Hall of Famer in 2027. He will be releasing new music this summer. He is also the founder of the most trusted source in all of sports.
He pissed away $88 million, impressive. Sounds like some of my relatives.
Delusions of Adequacy 
The vast majority of people with debt problems have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. This includes governments.
