Joey Porter, a former NFL linebacker who made tens of millions of dollars in his career, is once again facing financial problems.
Porter is facing a foreclosure lawsuit on a home he bought in Broward County shortly after signing with the Dolphins in 2007, according to the South Florida Business Journal. Porter got a $12 million signing bonus when he joined the Dolphins and could have used the money to buy the home outright, but he instead took out a $2.8 million mortgage. Boca Raton-based 1st United Bank says Porter hasn’t been making payments on that mortgage.
