Good article.... rooting for the guy.
But damn the NFL is such a cut throat biz.
While on the Seahawks' practice squad last season, Bronson pulled a hamstring, which landed him on injured reserve. He was waived after re-aggravating the injury this past offseason and signed by the Dolphins. He was so confident in his play that he sold his King County home and moved his wife and two young children with him to Miami.
He was waived Sept. 1.
For $6,600 a week, I'd imagine it's ridiculously competitive, and that's not even active roster pay. How much competition in the private sector would you have for a $6600/week job ?
Hell I was a union carpenter making $34/hr. You don't want to know how grown men were acting and what people were doing to get and keep their jobs. That was the most politics I'd ever seen at a job, and coincidentally, it was the highest wage I'd ever gotten.
