Damar Hamlin, an NFL football player for the Buffalo Bills, had a heart arrest on Monday during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He is currently in critical condition in a hospital.
In the NFL since 2021, Hamlin has played safety and is presently in his second season. The 24-year-old footballer has amassed a substantial amount of riches in the short time of his career. Here is all the information we have on his earnings and net worth.
Although Damar Hamlin’s net worth has not been officially verified, numerous sources estimate that it is in the neighborhood of $660,000. This represents the player’s total earnings from both his NFL career and brand endorsements.
The Bills selected the football player in the 2021 NFL Draft. The terms of his four-year contract with the team were made public. Players selected later in the draft typically get less money than those selected earlier. Hamlin consequently agreed to a contract with the Bills for $3.6 million, which included a guaranteed signing bonus of $160,476 and an average annual salary of $910,119.
He received a base salary of $825,000 in 2022, and in 2023 it will rise to $940,000. According to reports, the player’s base salary in 2024 will be greater than $1 million. If the Bills choose not to resign him, Hamlin will become a free agency after his contract expires.
From 2016 through 2020, Hamlin played college football for the Pittsburgh Panthers at the University of Pittsburgh. He was named team captain for the final season, and he led his team in tackles with 66. He was also mentioned in the All-Atlantic Coast Conference honor roll.
The Bills made Hamlin their sixth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He joined the team in May 2021 after being selected with the 212nd overall choice of the year. After Micah Hyde sustained a neck injury in 2022, he was kept on the team as a reserve and moved to safety.
He led his squad in tackles against the New York Jets in week 9 with 12. In 2021 and 2022, the Buffalo Bills won the AFC East title. Additionally, the squad had a six-game winning streak to start the 2023 campaign. Hamlin has made 93 tackles so far this season, including 65 solo and 28 assisted ones.
On January 2, 2023, the football player passed out during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He tackled wide receiver Tee Higgins just before the event happened. Higgins’ helmet appeared to have hit Hamlin in the chest during the contact. The safety then briefly stood before tumbling to the floor.
He received CPR from the medics who had hurried to the scene. The player was taken to the hospital in an ambulance after it was called to the scene. The match was first called off before being rescheduled. Bills later verified that Hamlin had experienced a cardiac attack, and that the medics had successfully revived him on the field.
