Travis Kelce on rookie contract: "Man, I spent it all"

This is kind of a shit post and doesn't mean much, but it gives some interesting insight to the mind of one of our best players.

We all know he wasn't a great decision-maker in his younger days, but blowing through a few hundred thousand dollars in his first year is beyond insane.

https://www.tmz.com/2021/01/05/travi...T_MNQHHJ_5f0Ks

Quote:
"Man, I spent it all," the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast ... "I should've been on the '30 for 30: Broke' the way I was spending!"

Here's the deal ... Kelce was a 3rd round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft and signed a 4-year, $3.1 million deal with a $700k signing bonus. Great money for a normal person but far from generational wealth!

So, how did Travis spend his first NFL checks? Shoes and a Rolex...
Quote:
...But, he has some advice for the next generation of young guys ...

"All the young guys in the league, all the guys that have the opportunity to get that big first check from the NFL -- save it!"

"Find a financial advisor that you trust, that's gonna do right with your money because I was searching around for car deals after my first year trying to just pay rent!"

No wonder his second contract was such a steal.

Pay rent?

These dipshits should buy a house the instant they sign that first contract.

Lol, totally seems like something young Kelce would do. Glad he turned into an All World TE.

Glad he grew up and learned from it. Most people that do something like that don't have the opportunity to fix the mistake and be better from it.

I wouldn't. NFL players get traded a ton. Buying a house would be a major pain to deal with unless you were VERY confident you weren't going to have to move (e.g., Mahomes).

The funny thing is that he didn't even play his rookie season due to an injury.

Its just crazy, even in my dumbass 20's there is simply no way I would've blown through all that... hell even if I wanted to, there were voices in my life who would've straightened me out

And Travis was raised by a very nice family as I recall... what a hellion he must've been, we're all lucky he finally grew up

As long as they buy a house in a growing area it doesn't matter. Sell or rent the house out. Landlords are making big money these days.
