The agent would have taken a cut. In rookie camp the guys get a lecture about how the average NFL career is ~4 years and to save/invest, not wildly spend their money. Some listen to that and take heed, some don't. If he was careful with his NFL earnings, he could have several hundred thousand dollars in investments or real estate, which is a very nice position for a youngish man to be in.

Medical sales can be extremely lucrative. Money-wise Chase may have the best prospects for future earnings, especially if he marries Jojo and ties into her parent's contacts in that field.

Jordan was drafted by Jacksonville in 2013, but cut during training camp.  He was then picked up by Tampa and was on the practice squad in 2013.  He was cut in February of 2014 and went to some Miami mini-camps but was cut like a month later (according to Wikipedia; FYI, I didn't see any spoilers, but I was careful to only look at the NFL stuff).

Below that it said that he signed with some Canadian team, but then quit to perform in a Las Vegas production of Damn Yankees, which made me laugh .  I didn't read any more for fear of spoilers.

Okay, he would have earned a minimum of $405K for that one NFL season. His agent may have negotiated more than that. The agent would have taken 3% bringing it down to $393K. Federal taxes would have taken a third of that to $259K. Figure about 5% for state taxes, and you have $246K. So if he lived frugally that season, he might have walked away with $200K (or more, if his agent negotiated a better salary.) So figure that he *could* have banked maybe $200-$300K.  Whatever he earned from the CFL would have just covered his living expenses. No idea what he would have earned in Las Vegas!

Thanks for looking up that information. I didn't dare!

ETA -- a couple of online sources estimate his total net worth at $1.5 million, which I don't find unreasonable. I used online sources to check the net worth of another celebrity in the past, where I did have a pretty good idea of the numbers, and the sources were reasonably accurate.

Hi everybody! I know some of you have said that you have a lactose intolerance and therefore cannot indulge on my spumoni, but...

If you'd like to see my analysis of Jojo's quotes specific to Robby, I'd like to direct you to the Robby thread. I promise you that there will be no cramping or diarrhea involved.

So, grab a spoon and enjoy! :dancingdoggy:

I love your dedication to Robby, MiaHawk. 

She does seem to have a good time with him.

Thanks AC. I just cannot help but be dedicated to Robby!  I only hope that he (and I) don't crash and burn!

Thanks Amethyst! Things are making a lot more sense now!

OMG! I am at the hairdressers right now. When I walked in there was a stack of magazines on the table. Out of my peripheral vision I saw the word "Jojo" on the cover! I quickly turned my head! I have made it this far. I don't want to accidentally get spoiled now! Kind of parallels the guys getting their hair cut by Vinny and just happening to see the magazine! Lol. So fake. So set up. Wish me luck. I still have to walk past that table when I leave here! Lol

LOL Mia, I'll make sure and avoid them when I go to the store today.

Nice work in the Robby thread! I'd be at it all day if I tried to do Luke's!

I agree, and thank you Amythest and Kimberley. Going forward to other seasons, a person needs to ask themselves, "What is their real profession?" Would that be spoiling to know what they really do to make a living? It's an important piece of the puzzle that's missing to figuring out the ending. JoJo would know this info and it really does sway a person's decision about them. Jordan being an actor for example instead of being a sports announcer as he said, might raise warning flags to her decision. In his particular case, I THINK acting isn't his first profession but I may be wrong. Same goes for any other of these "former this or that". What do they do now is very important to her decision IMO. If a guy is overseas for half the year, for example, that could be a deal breaker for the lead. I wish the show said. On the sleuthing side, did we figure out the guys' current professions?? I forget. If so, it's something to think about having provided to us in the future, if we think it's not spoiling.

Good luck Mia!!

Perfect avi Lost!! 

You guys are great. I have learned lots for you.

I have the reported net worth of the remaining guys. Do you want me to post them? There are some surprises!

If allowed, yes please!
