yes its a lot of money to people who make under 6 figures. Its his second year in the league. he got a 40,000 signing bonus as well. You help buy your parents a house/car/ whatever. Buy yourself a house and a car. Agent takes a cut, uncle sam take a cut and your girlfriend and child take a cut. Only so many slices in a pie. Yes, he should have enough money to buy the things he attempted to steal but it doesn't always work out that way. That definitely isn't a reason to do so either way. I was just stating that 450K isn't a lot of money. The average cost to raise a child from birth to 18 is over 400K.
