Every Sunday afternoon, for a period of the year, fans flock to their couches to watch NFL teams battle with one another. It’s easy to get lost in the shiny presentations and the in depth sports talk and end up forgetting that these are people playing the actual sport. Despite how many millions of dollars get thrown around, some NFL players struggle a bit after they retire. Listed below are some former NFL stars and what they’re up to since retirement.
Dan Marino
This legendary quarterback is surely one of the greatest to ever play the game. Marino invested a staggering $14 million into an entertainment company named Digital Domain. Digital Domain was known for creating the first Tupac Shakur hologram at Coachella. The company went belly up shortly after Marino invested, causing the QB to lose everything. Maybe that’s why Marino has been looking a little puffy on TV, maybe he should focus on some weight loss tips instead of his crushing loss.

Warren Sapp
Warren Sapp was a legendary lineman who earned over $80 million throughout his career. Sapp’s life has been less than easy since retiring from the NFL due to a variety of issues, some self inflicted. Sapp bought into some poor real estate, fell into trouble with child support and alimony, and eventually ran into issues with the law. Sapp’s $82 million is all but gone sadly.
