Maybe I am cynical, but I like hearing stories like the ones I read about Richard Sherman and Eddie Lacy... Sherman's dad insisted on continuing to work so he could get his pension and Lacy's mom said she would accept a house out of his second contract.
It sounds to me as though his mother helped him make great decisions his entire life. I read it as a positive his mother would continue to be by his side insuring a young man with a ton of money is not lead astray by outside influences. These young guys go from broke to millionaires at age 21, so an adult close by can only help in my humble opinion.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
