Burrow's Contract With Taxes And Other Fees......

[*ochocincos*]

This might be helpful to point out for those completely unaware of taxes and paying agents and all that works, but I think for most it's pretty known.

To the point I'm sure you're trying to also make, it's that many of these players don't go on to make a bunch of money after their playing career, so they need (or at least want) to have enough money to live the life they want for 40+ years after being out of the league.
