Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
Came across this article entirely by chance
NFL lockout could throw ex-Huskers for a loss - Omaha.com
Quote:
Adam Carriker always planned for the possibility that something could go wrong, so a potential NFL lockout wouldn't throw him off-course financially.
Shortly after signing a five-year contract as the No. 13 overall pick in the 2007 National Football League draft, the former Nebraska defensive lineman started investing and saving rather than flashing his cash.
It went against the grain in a league loaded with big spenders, he found out, but Carriker didn't mind.
“I'll be honest, I've gotten a little bit of guff from players, because I don't buy the most expensive clothes,” Carriker said Wednesday. “We have nice vehicles, but they're not ridiculous. I don't spend much on anything.”
