Yesterday we noted that former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry, who made $2.5 million in three years, is now totally broke at the age of 25.So today let's talk about a player who sounds like he's got the complete opposite approach to money: Broncos rookie linebacker Spencer Larsen, a sixth-round draft pick who got a $97,500 signing bonus. Larsen was asked how he planned to spend that money: A car? Jewelry? A party in Vegas? Nope:
"We don't have any big needs, so we'll just save it," Larsen said. "It's more money than we've ever been around."
Larsen, who is married and has a kid and sounds like he's got a level head, would make a good speaker at next year's Rookie Symposium.

Watch out for Larsen. He was an absolute beast at the U of A and should have been drafted much earlier.
Very much in the same mold as Bruschi. Broncos got a steal.
