both made NFL rosters.

Bell in San Francisco and Ripkowski in Green Bay.

Good for them.

Even if they never see the field, what is it, a minimum of a quarter mil a year now?

Spent wisely, with the miserly ways of a Hebrew, (that's a compliment) these guys can prosper and be pretty liquid for the next chapter in their lives.

Bell got a prorated 500k signing bonus (125 this year) and will make minimum salary of 435k.

Rip got a prorated 100k bonus (25k this year) and and 435k.


Nice payday for both and hope they save something. After management fees and taxes, they're probably looking at 50% take home.
