If he does go from 6-10 to 31, he just went from (2021 numbers) $20-27m with a $12-17m signing bonus to $11.3m with a $5.6m signing bonus. If he copies Sidney Jones' fall like Schmit mentioned, 43 got $7.9m and a $3.1m signing bonus.

He should still get real money, but that's the difference between being wealthy and having generational wealth just from one bad step or whatever.

To be honest, earning money does not mean wealth.. what you do with that money you earn does though.  Hopefully he can bounce back, and if he understands investment, can he still have a very comfortable nest egg even with a short career
