Saver: Darrius Heyward-Bey

Despite being a bust of a first-round draft pick, Heyward-Bey still earned over $35 million during his career. While still not technically retired, he hasn’t been on an NFL team since 2018 and will find it hard to land a job moving forward.

Despite falling short professionally, he was smart with his money and set an allowance for himself that he developed with his mom. Heyward-Bey would even cancel his cable during the NFL season, since he wasn’t home to watch it.
