According to Spotrac, Aaron Hernandez signed a 7 year, $39,582,000 contract with the New England Patriots, including a $12,500,000 signing bonus, $15,950,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $5,654,571.
We know that Hernandez only received a portion of that guaranteed money and contract before being arrested for suspicion of murdering Odin Lloyd.
According to Brian Fraga via Hernandez’s attorneys, the former Patriots tight end is broke, and in danger of losing his North Attleboro mansion.
Even worse, fiancee Shayanna Jenkins vacated the home a long time ago.
