You know that crazy statistic about 80 percent of retired NFL players going bankrupt? You can count former Ravens defensive back Chris McAlister to that list.
C-Mac made headlines today after it was reported that he has been living with his parents since he last played in the NFL in 2009. The celebrity gossip website TMZ.com reports that McAlister has to pay his ex-wife Marlene $11,000 per month in child support.
“I have been unemployed since 2009. I have no income,” he said. “My parents provide me with by basic living expenses as I do not have the funds to do so.”
McAlister signed a 7 year, $55 million deal with the Ravens in 2004 and played five years before being released by the team.

Heard c-mac was doing fine , on the radio today , TMZ is a sad commentary on society anyway……….bunch of losers…………
Hopefully all you Raven fans don’t start hating on McAlister considering he is one of the Ravens All-Time Greats and needs to be in their Ring of Honor.
With Lewis, Reed, McAlister, Siragusa, Woodson, McCrary, Sharper, Starks, Adams, Boulware, etc. that whole defense should have their own place in the Ravens Hall…
I’m with Ravens2488. Heard some clowns today talking smack about C-Mac. Some toothless guy from Iowa and another boob from Dundalk. Neither would know a shut down corner from a four corner defense. C-Mac shut down the entire side of the field he covered and brought swagger to the Ravens. He was instrumental in that 2000 defense that allowed just 162 points.
