NFL News: Mark Brunell To File For Bankruptcy

News

Brunell was the back-up QB for the New Orleans Saints last season.

The bankruptcy filing stems from a series of failed real estate investments through a group called Champion LLC.

Brunell said he paid the groups loan payments for year, but said in the end he needed to stop.

“The timing of the group’s real-estate acquisitions at the height of the real-estate market, in hindsight, clearly was not good,” Brunell told the Florida Times-Union.

Brunell earned roughly $52 million in his 15 year NFL career.
