Even though Kirk Wright is no longer of this world, six former NFL players are still suing him on top of the NFL and its players union as a result of being conned $20 million in an investment scheme concocted by the dead hedge fund manager. Wright hung himself in a jail in Atlanta last Sunday. He was put behind bars for cheating his clients including several prolific NFL players such as Ray Crockett, Steve Atwater, Al Smith, Carlos Emmons, Blaine Bishop and Clyde Simmons as well as his mother after convincing them to invest in his program.

The money was spent largely on his $500,000 wedding.

One of the best rookie players in the 2005 NFL season, Thurman, will now have to find some other team in a bid to play in the NFL.
