Episode Description
The frenzy that is the NFL Free Agent period is now in full swing, as teams raced against the clock earlier this week to trim cap space in preparation of luring the latest salary cap casualties into the build. Several players remained in place while others decided that cashing in was more important than signing with a bona fide contender. On today's show we will debate what's more important, hitching a ride for championship run and the opportunity to play for the crown jewel of professional sports or hitching a ride to the Money Train. With a deep pool of quality Free Agents still available, the second week is where the sharks will begin to circle, as the fresh smell of desperation will enable teams looking to upgrade without paying the heavy price tag to cash in on top talent hoping to keep their Super Bowl dreams alive . We will breakdown why the early bird doesn't always get the worm and how having a little patience can still be rewarding. Join us as we take a trip back down memory lane and discuss the biggest Free Agent bust and who we feel best fits the title #Stealing Money. This and more as another don't miss Secondary Perspective takes flight.

Growing up in the inner city of Miami has presented me with many obstacles to overcome. No matter how bleak things might have looked or what odds might have been stacked against me, I never stop fighting for what I want. I went from a college walk-on at Morris Brown College to a scholarship student-athlete at Georgia Tech. It was imperative for me to display my athletic abilities on a larger platform. This mindset has pushed me to chase my dream over 3 continents by way of the CFL, NFL Europe and finally the NFL. I took that same approach to my education when I gave up a $50,000 work-out bonus to return to Georgia Tech and earn my undergraduate degree in Business. I was presented with an award from the NFL because of my scholastic achievements. As an undrafted player in the NFL I’ve seen my fair share of highs and lows in my 10 year career. The knowledge gained on and off the field has led to my continued work as a Sports Analyst. I can recreate the passion I had on the field as an analyst to help undrafted players find success in the NFL. Maintaining the proper attitude with perseverance has allowed me to continue my pursuit for perfection as I embark on what is sure to be a great 2nd career.
I continue to use my celebrity to bring awareness to outside causes and community organizations. This allows me to mentor future leaders of tomorrow, aspiring athletes and help troubled youth. Nothing is better than knowing that you’ve had a major impact on someone else’s life.
