10. Terrell Owens
Never was there an athlete more destined to be broke. Despite his talent, Terrell Owens carried himself with a selfish swag that was bound to catch up to him at some point. In a 2012 interview with GQ, Owens claimed the $80 million he made in his career was gone.
He attempted to defend himself, saying his financial advisors, NOT his lifestyle, were the cause of his financial problems. While that might be true, court documents show Owens pays $44,600 in monthly child support for his four children.
9. JaMarcus Russell
Possibly the biggest draft bust in NFL history, former quarterback JaMarcus Russell was a train wreck from the moment he walked across the stage at the NFL draft. As the 1st-overall pick in the 2007 draft, the Raiders rewarded Russell with a $61 million contract.
As soon as Russell got his first taste of NFL money, he let himself go, gaining more than 30 pounds in the offseason. Rather than accepting blame for his poor play, Russell claimed “the game wasn’t fun for me” and even went as far as blaming teammates saying “I’m not the one who gave up 42 points on defense.”
