Can we just focus on the positive message of the story.. he helped his mom get a car and a home. Lot of NFL players have done that and not go broke.Coop is a great dude. I'm happy for him and his family to have this opportunity. He seems like a well rounded individual, but I do hope that he doesn't fall into the same trap that Trent did. Him being able to do this for his mother is special, but it can get out of hand really fast. I hope he has a good advisor or financial mentor in his life.
I don't envy him and guys like him to come from little and then have more money than they know what to do with thrust on them that quickly. The amount of pressure they get from friends and family must be devastating.
I did that, I acknowledged that it's a great story. I also expressed an opinion that I hope he's judicious with it from here. Not sure what your issue with that is.Can we just focus on the positive message of the story.. he helped his mom get a car and a home. Lot of NFL players have done that and not go broke.

One big difference is the Trent never made it to the second big contract but barring some injury Coop is going to get a huge second contract! He can afford to splurge and still put away a ton of money.Coop is a great dude. I'm happy for him and his family to have this opportunity.

One other big thing, and this is where I have the most respect for him. It's not like he's a rookie who just got that first check, he didn't do this and blow his entire signing bonus. Instead he chose to wait a couple of years, and that is a lot of paychecks piling up. I follow AC on twitter and instagram. He seems like a really intelligent guy, so I assume this was strategic.One big difference is the Trent never made it to the second big contract but barring some injury Coop is going to get a huge second contract!
