In a recent Baltimore Sun article, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin said he believed people have a misconception about NFL players, that they're all millionaires. "Yeah, I think so," he said. "The crazy part about the NFL is the disparity between pay. You have some guys making $350,000 and then you have some guys making $10 million a year. But the general public doesn't understand that just because I'm in the NFL, that doesn't mean that I'm making millions upon millions. Nothing is guaranteed, and they don't factor in taxes. If you get a $10 million contract, you might get a little bit more than half of that after taxes. I think that's a big misconception among fans." Boldin signed a four-year contract worth $28 million last spring following a seven-year career with the Arizona Cardinals, where he earned $21,248,610. Source: USA Today

What a freaking douche bag... Sorry to hear you're only getting $5 Million out of the $10 you're supposed to make. Jerk off...
There may be some 'poor' players out there making $350,000 a year, but it sure as f**k beats flipping burgers at Wendy's.
