You'd think he'd leave some of it at home when traveling. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/26/shaun-rogers-has-500k-of-jewelry-stolen-in-miami/Shaun Rogers has $500K of jewelry stolen in Miami Posted by Josh Alper on March 26, 2013, 9:16 AM EDT From the “NFL players lead very different lives than you and me” file, we bring you the story of Giants defensive tackle Shaun Rogers. CBS Miami, via the Miami Beach Police, reports that Rogers was staying at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach this weekend and went out with some friends to the hotel’s nightclub. He and the group returned to the room around 7 a.m. with a woman they met at the club in tow. Upon returning, Rogers put his jewelry in the room safe and found that neither the jewels nor the woman were there when he woke up at 12:30 p.m. It was a costly loss for Rogers, who does not travel light when it comes to jewelry. Per the report, Rogers lost diamond earrings worth $100,000; two wristwatches worth a combined $160,000; a gold necklace with gold pendant worth $50,000; gold bracelets worth $60,000; and a diamond Cuban necklace with a gold pendant worth $70,000. That’s $500,000 worth of jewelry, a good bit more than most of us likely bring out for even the biggest night on the town. No word on whether or not Rogers had insured the items, but we certainly hope so because we’re not sure his deal with the Giants is going to pay enough for him to come up with replacements for what’s been lost.

Sad. For him.
He'll be broke/bankrupt in a few years.

That's kind of crazy. I have seen similar numbers thrown around before. My best advice for a professional athlete, especially an NFL player, would be to treat every paycheck like it will be your last one from an NFL team.
Even playing one year at the NFL at rookie minimum salary, let's say that is $250k after taxes, you should be able to put over $200k of that away. Not a bad nest egg for someone in their early 20s.

Easier said than done. If you were a 22 year old kid with no knowledge of the real world (these guys are coddled all through HS and college) and people just started handing you money...I know I wouldnt have saved much.

Agreed..... but knowing what you know now, you surely think that would be good advice.
I'm sure these guys have people telling them pretty much the same thing left and right, whether it's from their agent, financial advisor, speakers at the rookie symposium etc., but at the end of the day it is their money and a lot of them are going to blow it.

These guys are told about this every year in rookie orientation. If they choose not to listen to sound advice from professionals who have been there. It is their own fault.
They have the knowledge if they listen.

It's not hard to spend that on a watch if that's what you're into. Heck, check the "Luxury Watches" section of Amazon.com -- I've seen watches for over $100,000.00 on there from time to time.

He probably went out wearing all that stuff to impress the ladies ...... and he impressed the wrong one the wrong way. I bet he got back to the room, didn't lock up his stuff, but instead just took it off and laid it on a table ...... and she woke up first and found herself instantly rich.

Hopefully it was locked and he didn't use his room number as the password.
I'm not sure I can connect him being broke in a few years with his liking fine jewlery and being robbed.
Maybe he saved everything else, maybe some were gifts (like when a QB buys all of his linemen rolex's) or maybe he's got enough cash that he can blow $500,000 on crap like this and not really care.
I hope he had insurance.

Of course he says that ..... but does that make it so?
Guy goes out, has a few drinks, and then a few more .... meets a girl ...... they go back to his place .... he gets caught up in the moment of passion ....... does he really stop to place his belongings in the safe? Maybe he does, and maybe he doesn't. It is highly unlikely that a random person he picked up in a bar (or wherever) would be a qualified safe cracker.

i would think that South Beach wearing a bunch of bling would make you a potential target for just such a person.

No kiddin - I remember seeing a story with either TO or Chad Johnson and they were buying cheap fake diamond earrings and said something to the effect of "justo because I have money doesn't mean I need to spend it all". Was really surprised but glad to see some players don't throw it all away

It even happens to the smart ones that don't manage their own portfolio.. Look at Kosar. Trusted his father and some dentist that was his agent for a time.
It's ok to trust... But it's like what I think it was Reagan said, Trust but Verify.
Nobody will watch your money like you NEED to do.
