The Dallas Cowboys are in the midst of a new era with head coach Brian Schottenheimer at the helm.\u00a0 He takes over after Mike McCarthy was in control from 2020-2024.\u00a0 While 2024 was derailed by injuries, McCarthy still went 49-35 and had three consecutive seasons of at least 12 regular season wins.<\/p>\n

Schottenheimer will have high expectations immediately.\u00a0 However, news of one of their former starters having a second job while with the team is going viral.<\/p>\n

The source claims that Xavier Woods has been working hours at a smoothie joint for no\u00a0reason<\/a>\u00a0other than earning extra money:<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Woods signed a two-year deal with the Titans this year and will earn $4 million a year, with $3.49 million of that money guaranteed. His base salary counts for $1.39 million, with his signing bonus set at $2 million, so he\u2019s a pretty wealthy guy, although he\u2019s not making superstar money.<\/p>\n

It appears he\u2019s keen on making most of his cash off the field, as, according to\u00a0a thread from Brandon Harris, he\u2019s following a model used by the smart investor athletes.<\/p>\n

Shaquille O\u2019Neal\u00a0and\u00a0Jimmy Butler\u00a0are among popular NBA stars who have followed the blueprint, which another former hooper, Junior Bridgeman, created.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
