Edgerrin James Net Worth and Career
Former American football player Edgerrin James has a net worth of $40 million. He is known for his career as a running back for the Indianapolis Colts, Arizona Cardinals, and Seattle Seahawks before retiring in 2011.
James played football in high school in Florida and earned his place in the University of Miami as one of the best running backs in university history. He was selected by the Indianapolis Colts for the 1999 Draft, signing a rookie contract worth $49 million. He was named the 1999 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and won the NFL rushing title in his first two seasons.
In 2006, James signed a four-year deal worth $30 million with the Arizona Cardinals. His time with the team was rocky, which led him to not play for the team in the 2009 NFL playoffs. The tragic death of his long-term girlfriend and mother of his three children led him to be released from the team. After grieving the loss of his girlfriend, James signed a one-year contract worth $2 million with the Seattle Seahawks in 2009, only playing in seven games before being released in just three months.
Today, James is a co-owner of one of the largest go-kart tracks in Arizona.
