Nassib's NYG career likely over

The pension, which players become eligible for at age 55, gives them $470/month for each season they played. A player with 4 seasons would get $1880/month starting at age 55, for the rest of their life.

hope he gets one more year somewhere

OK...maaaaaaaaybe I exaggerated just a little bit.

I would give Ryan an "I" for his NFL career. To earn a real grade he needs to get on a team whose QB doesn't take every snap and he actually sees some game action.

IMO, backup quarterback for an NFL team is the greatest job in the world. Congrats, Ryan! Besides having a great career at Syracuse, you've set yourself up for life. And probably not done yet (NFL-wise).

I'd go with either a backup middle infielder or a middle reliever in baseball. You get to sit down during the games if you want. You actually get to play an inning or 2 every week. And there is little risk of getting hurt during practice. And it's also common to be able to play either position well into your 30's.

NFL players seriously get a pension? That's not a joke?
(Disclaimer: I know it's not a joke, I just can't believe it)

And Joe Morris hardly saw the ball either his first few years in the NFL

Why?

Joe's first year or two were painful. The Giants drafted him after another running back from Michigan (Woolfolk?). They'd inevitably put Joe in on a third and forever to run a draw play that would get squashed.
