A customer wanted to trade in a 2025 Ram 3500 with just 14,000 miles on it. He was paying $1,472 a month and hoped to lower his payment. The problem?

Brown, 22, was asked what he wanted to buy for himself or someone else after receiving his first NFL paycheck following a training camp practice on Aug. 6. "Nah, I'm a sixth-round guy, man," he said.
