The Dallas Cowboys are in the midst of a new era with head coach Brian Schottenheimer at the helm. He takes over after Mike McCarthy was in control from 2020-2024. While 2024 was derailed by injuries, McCarthy still went 49-35 and had three consecutive seasons of at least 12 regular season wins.
Schottenheimer will have high expectations immediately. However, news of one of their former starters having a second job while with the team is going viral.

The source claims that Xavier Woods has been working hours at a smoothie joint for no reason other than earning extra money:
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’s a pretty wealthy guy, although he’s not making superstar money.
It appears he’s keen on making most of his cash off the field, as, according to a thread from Brandon Harris, he’s following a model used by the smart investor athletes.
Shaquille O’Neal and Jimmy Butler are among popular NBA stars who have followed the blueprint, which another former hooper, Junior Bridgeman, created.
This NFL player making $5M a year has a second job:
At a smoothie store…
Not because he’s broke – but because he’s following the path of an athlete who turned $350K into $500M.
