His days of stacking cash he made as a bouncer now look like nothing compared to his four-year, $7.73 million rookie contract. From $25K on jewelry to $215K on his New Orleans condo, find out how Cam Jordan spent his first million dollars in the NFL.

    One of the smartest ones I have seen. Signed his rookie deal in 2011. This is why he is still in the league and still prospering. He also seems super cool lol

    Cam was very good with his money. I mean he drug that first million out over several years, didn't ball out on vehicles or go crazy on crap like other guys. He coun Cracks me up how he was still being "cheap" wanting those Chevy prices. I don't watch football much anymore, but I like this guy's attitude.
    Dude said it took him closer to 8 years to spend the first million not counting the house. That house is probably double the value (if not more). Good for him.

    One of the few guys in this feature that actually sounds smart. "with my rookie deal, my mindset was I might have to live off this for the rest of my life", exactly! The odds say that more likely than not, that will be the case for almost all NFL players. But most of them spend like they are guaranteed that same salary for the next 20 years

    He is definitely worth over $100 million at this point. What's unusual and impressive is how little of his money spent. Typically most players drafted as high as him will spend at least $1 million in the first year. It took him 6-7 years to spend that first million
