TERRELL DAVIS

Denver Broncos players will wear a decal on their helmets Sunday against Detroit to honor Demaryius Thomas.

Gronkowski came out of retirement and signed with the Buccaneers after Brady bolted the Patriots last spring for a two-year, $50 million contract in Tampa after dominating the AFC for two decades. Brown caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Brady that put the Buccaneers ahead 21-6 at halftime after TD grabs of 8 and 17 yards by Gronkowski. In leading Tampa Bay to its first title in 18 seasons, Brady became the first player to win seven NFL championships. AdAt 43, Brady became the oldest player ever to play in a Super Bowl. It wasn't all free agents and trade acquisitions who brought Tampa its second NFL title.

NFL Hall-of-Famer Terrell Davis has one piece of money advice for newbie athletes scoring big multi-million contracts: "Write your own checks." "Don't have anybody writing your checks or paying your bills for you," Davis tells CNBC Make It. Davis says he himself made the mistake of letting people write checks for him during the height of his career, and now he urges young players to keep track off their own finances. You can never get too busy to write your own checks or pay your own bills," Davis says. Davis also urges young players not to take every deal that is offered to them.

Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis once made a huge money blunder and he'd like others to learn from it. "The biggest money mistake I've made I've made a lot of those, by the way was investing in a project that didn't exist, that never came to fruition," said Davis, who played for the Denver Broncos from 1995 to 2001. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017. The project was based in Atlanta, but while he was told it was "already good to go," it didn't get the blessing from the city. It "just kind of floundered," he said.
