20 NFL Players That Went Completely Broke

Ray Rice

1. Ray Rice

The story of Ray Rice is still fresh in our memories. He had a successful career with the Baltimore Ravens and was their second all-time leading rusher in terms of total yards. But then in 2014 Ray Rice was arrested for aggravated assault on his then-fiancée.

A video would surface of Ray Rice knocking out and assaulting his fiancée which lead him to lose his position with the Ravens. Most of his money was tied up in legal fees and penalties, and we don’t expect to see him return to the NFL even though he is technically a free agent.
