NFL players have some of the highest yearly salaries out of any occupation in the world. The highest paid player makes over $20 million per year. Some players choose to use their wealth to live the lavish lifestyle and others prefer stay low key and live like average middle class Americans. Most of the players on this list are quarterbacks because that is by far the highest paid position in the NFL and it is also a position that produces alpha male personalities. The big ballers on this list are some of the highest paid NFL players of all time Jachai Polite Jersey , so they can afford to blow money on all of their homes, cars, clothes and women.However not everyone in the NFL is paid as well as the QB and can not live as lavishly as their highly paid teammates. The league minimum is well into six figures at around $600,000 a year, but considering the average NFL career only lasts 3 seasons that salary will only last so long before their money runs out. Some of the guys that live below their means make enough money to live however they want, but they choose to live modestly and save the money they earned on the gridiron. Others find themselves on the list because they simply do not have the star power to attract one of the big salaries in the league and have had to downsize to survive long-term.These are 10 NFL players who live like ballers (and 5 who live like the amish).
Monday night’s 4-0 blanking of the Cleveland Indians marked the 10,000th win in St. Louis Cardinals history.

Number 10,001 might come a bit tougher on Tuesday night.

That’s because St. Louis (41-36) will have to deal with Cleveland ace Corey Kluber in the middle game of the teams’ three-game interleague series at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

Kluber (11-3 Chuma Edoga Jersey , 2.10), who at this point might be a favorite to win his third American League Cy Young Award, is coming off one of his standard dominating outings. In a 12-0 win Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox, Kluber permitted just one hit and one walk in seven innings, fanning seven.

Following a rare hiccup in a June 15 loss to Minnesota, which touched him for four hits and four runs in five innings, Kluber was back in form.

“It seems like every five days, you try to come up with something different to say Trevon Wesco Jersey ,” Indians manager Terry Francona said to mlb.com. “But his level of consistency is so high that, man, it’s just fun to watch.”

The Cardinals got a taste of Kluber’s level of consistency three years ago on a cold May night in Cleveland, and it went down about as well as a bottle of pesticide. Kluber fanned 18 and walked none over eight innings, ceding just one hit in a 2-0 victory that was the highlight of a 9-16 season hampered by a lack of run support.

That St. Louis lineup bore little resemblance to the one that Kluber will face Tuesday night, just like the Cardinals’ starter bears little resemblance to the one that opened this season pitching at a Cy Young level.

Carlos Martinez (3-4, 3.24) has seen his earned run average double since coming off the disabled list on June 5, failing to make it past the fifth inning in four straight starts. Martinez was pummeled for eight hits and seven runs Shareef Miller Jersey , five earned, over four innings of an 11-3 defeat Thursday night in Milwaukee.

But St. Louis manager Mike Matheny says Martinez is getting closer to the pitcher that pitched to a 1.62 ERA in his first eight starts.

“I thought his stuff was better last game than his line suggested,” Matheny said of Martinez. “He knows how close he is to getting locked in, so I’m excited to see him pitch tomorrow.”

Martinez, who will face the Indians (43-34) for the first time in his MLB career, has usually delivered shutdown efforts in interleague outings. In 16 career games, 12 of them starts, against American League competition Zach Brown Jersey , Martinez is 4-4 with a 1.97 ERA.

The Cardinals became the seventh MLB franchise to reach five figures in victories with a good all-around outing. They held an explosive offense to four hits, scored all their runs with two outs and played a clean game defensively.

“I’d take that every night,” Matheny said. “Give them a zero, give us a few runs and I’ll trust our bullpen. Guys came through with big hits. We did a lot of things right … it was a big day.”
