The NFL enjoys luxuries with its vast budget, including a good $10 million it makes from TV and streaming deals. However, all that glitters is not gold, and Bryce Hansen, wife of former NFL player Chad Hansen, seconds that. The former opened up on the reality of the league in a recent video.
The best players of the NFL enjoy millionaire status with the minimum salary for rookies being $795,000 in 2024. While the league itself might be swimming in money, some players most often aren’t. Bryce Hansen told her TikTok followers of the uncertainty of money through a run down of her family’s finances.
Chad Hansen, who had a rather erratic career, was on 8 different teams with contracts often being broken and signed. Amid the turbulence, Bryce Hansen explained having struggled to migrate to different places in a short span of time.
(I) thought NFL players are millionaires. That would have been really great if that was the case, if we were one team and all that stuff. But you know, that’s just not the reality for everybody.
Bryce Hansen said
Talking of her past self, Bryce explained being misconstrued about the subject matter herself. She also expressed the struggles of free-agent families, later acknowledging the cost of balance. Now that Hansen has retired, she opened up to reassure the viewers that they were grateful and blessed. That likely has to do with the former NFL player’s ‘smart’ investments.

Emphasizing the technicalities of contracts, Bryce Hansen gave a picture of an athlete signing at the beginning of the offseason. Provided the athlete is waived off before the regular season begins, they get no pay. Such happened to Chad with the New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints.

Allison Kuch‘s TikTok account is often a go-to space for her followers for a realistic portrayal, such as she did on being an NFL WAG. The wife of former professional athlete Isaac Rochell had some things to say similar to that of Bryce Hansen. The video was posted on her TikTok account post Rochelle’s abrupt release from the Cleaveland Browns.

She expressed disappointment over the ambiguity of the NFL, which is business besides relationships. That came after she expressed having formed connections in the team and planned for holidays. Furthermore, she shared snaps of the couple being worn down and battling the tough times.
The video gained several recognitions, with the couple highlighting their real selves with less filtered images of them. Similar to Hansen’s stance, Kuch smashed the illusion of the life of an NFL WAG that is stereotyped in luxuries.
