NFL Standout Failed at Personal Finance and Jailed for Not Paying Child Support

February 15, 2017 Leave a Comment

Former NFL wide receiver Robert Meachem is behind bars after failing to pay nearly $400,000 in child support and alimony. Meachem, 32, can be released once he paid his ex-wife, Andrea Rhodes. The couple divorced in 2014 and agreed to split custody of their two children. Over his eight-year career in the NFL playing for the Saints and the Chargers, Meachem made more than $20 million. In 2012, Meachem also signed a lucrative long-term deal with the Chargers that included $14 million in guaranteed money. By failing to manage his personal finance, Meachem doesn’t have enough money to pay the child support and alimony. In fact he had to borrow money from former NFL associates to get by. According to the Advocate and NOLA.com, Meachem testified that he believed much of his money had been taken by a former officer of one of his charitable foundations and another assistant, since he didn’t pay enough attention to his bank balances.
