The two invested in FTX and acted as ambassadors

In 2021, seven NFL players decided to speak out and started paying their salaries in Crypto, or converting part of their cash salaries to Crypto.

Aaron Rodgers

这位 2020 年全美橄榄球联盟最有价值球员 11 月 1 日在推特上发布视频宣布，他正在与现金应用支付服务公司合作，以比特币接受他的部分工资。Rodgers 今年的收入约为 2230 万美元。Rodgers 还告诉观众，他将捐赠 100 万美元的比特币。他将把一部分工资汇到他的 Cash App 账户，然后用这个账户购买比特币。

Tom Brady

Tom Brady is another very high-profile NFL star quarterback who has made frequent forays into crypto in 2021. Brady, however, has not said the NFL will pay him in bitcoin, but he announced this year that he would take a stake in FTX as a brand ambassador, and FTX will pay him in Crypto. In April, Tom Brady also unveiled his own NFT platform, called Autograph.

Odell Beckham Jr.

Odell Beckham Jr.，OBJ 紧随 Aaron Rodgers 的脚步，在 11 月下旬宣布已与 Cash App 合作，将使用 BTC 作为他的薪水。他的合同规定，本赛季他将从 NFL 获得约 425 万美元。

Trevor Lawrence

The new star quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, Trevor Lawrence, has joined the ranks of NFL superstars who have publicly accepted encrypted payments. Lawrence, however, did not directly reach an agreement with the NFL. He endorses Blockfolio, which will pay him for using Crypto.

Saquon Barkley

Saquon Barkley, the Superstar running back for the New York Giants, revealed in July that he would convert all of his endorsement money into Bitcoin. Like most of the others on this list, Barkley doesn't get paid directly through Crypto. Instead, he converted some of his cash receipts into Crypto.

Barkley 正在使用 Strike 支付应用程序来进行比特币兑换。不过，他并不是第一个使用 Strike 用自己的工资购买比特币的 NFL 球员。去年，前美国橄榄球联盟 (NFL) 前锋 Russel Okung 成为第一个公开分享自己使用 Strike 将 NFL 工资转换为比特币的球员。

Sean Culkin

堪萨斯城酋长队 (Kansas City Chiefs) 的近卫 Sean Culkin 公开了他将自己在 NFL 的全部薪水转换成比特币的计划。Culkin 计划将把他的工资 100% 兑换成比特币。

Aaron Jones

In September, Aaron Jones signed a deal with FTX to become an ambassador for the exchange. Like Tom Brady, Mr Jones has bought a stake in FTX. Jones will also integrate FTX payments into his own charity's website, allowing it to accept Crypto donations.
