I just know that a lot of people take on too much financial strain and end up back to broke (especially if they have a short career and/or don't get a big second contract).

$4 million is a lot of money, but it's not "we're rich and no one ever has to worry about anything again" money.

Having Mama in the loop for the next few years should be a good thing. The rookie contract does not really require an agent as the contracts are not slotted, so anyone can ask the see pick #23 and #25 contracts and then go in the middle. It is contract $2 now that he will need an expert.

No doubt finding a reputable financial advisor who only has advisory rights and no control of decisions or access to the money would be wise. All too many times, these guys are too trusting and allow this so called experts to steal their money.
