Bummer! And surprising, to me at least. I know they have some other guys but I didn't think any of them were world-beaters. Hope he can catch on somewhere as a backup at least.

This may be the end of the road for AD.  If so I hope he signs a 1 day contract so he can retire a VIK.

Bears need a RB. Not sure AD has enough $ in the bank anymore.

1st ballot HOF. I'd say we should we sign him so he could retire a Viking, but I doubt he's ready to retire. And so the Antonio Gibson era begins in Washington.

He really is determined to go after that Smith record isn't he? 

Agreed, he is a 1st ballot HOF. I remember the day we drafted him as clearly as the day we drafted Moss. 

Talk about a dopamine rush...

Wasn't he close to 'broke' again last year. He needs to keep running.  :/

Yeah especially since he has made close to 100 million in his career.

He's had to revert to miniature Donkeys. 

You know whats funny about this though?  I can rent a camel for my kids birthday for next to nothing.  We have a local farm that runs a petting zoo.  We looked into hiring them for a customer event.  I want to say it was less then $1k maybe even less then $500 for the whole shebang, camel included. I was surprised at how little they got.

$4M isn't much by NFL standards but at 4% thats still $160k a year.  $13k a month.  I think I could figure out how to live quite comfortably on that.  You'd think he still gets royalties for his likeness as well...though beating your kid probably didn't help that much.

It's negative 4 million so he is in the hole. I could definitely live on 4 million though.

Lol missed the negative.  You gotta assume a chunk of that is tied up in his realestate right?  I mean until my house is paid off I'm in the hole quite a ways.  But run Adrian run!!

Well i hope not because then your house would be worth at least $4MM less than the amount of debt you have on it. I read he got screwed over on some investments...seems way too common in professional sports. He isn't that great of a speaker so I dont know if he lands anything great post nfl but I could be wrong
