I always say the NFL is the worst sport for athletes because their bodies get destroyed in return for relatively little money (at least for everybody except the superstars), but that's because I always forget about the UFC.

Still though a practice squad player in the NFL is clearing $500k+ a season. So it's at least a decent amount of money. Is it worth the future health problems with no pension? Not my decision, but at least it is an amount of money where there is a decision to be made.

MMA, Boxing, WWE... Haha go fuck yourself.

It seems practice squad players actually make a minimum of $12K per week or $216K per season. Still not that bad compared to conventional jobs, but it's not like you can have a 40-year career doing that.

And with the effects on long term brain health they have been unraveling in the past few years its a no dawg from me thanks. Unfortunately I've already gone through my sports playing days so it was already a yeah dawg.
