Kroy Evan Biermann was born on September 12, 1985, in Hardin, Montana. Kroy attended Hardin High School where he was extremely active in sports including football, wrestling and track.

A Breakdown of His Net Worth and Career Earnings

Following a decorated college career, Kroy was selected in the 2008 NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons in the fifth round as the 154 overall pick. In 2008, NFL combine, Kory came out as the top performer in the 3-cone drill and in the vertical jump. He played at the outside linebacker position. His first NFL touchdown came in a Monday night game on November 2, 2009, against New Orleans Saint.

Earnings From Atlanta Falcons (2008–2015)

Between 2008 and 2010, Kory earned over $862,000 in salary alone while playing for the Falcons. Subsequently, his annual earnings surged to $2.5 million. In March 2015, after being a free agent for one week and recovering from Achilles, the Atalanta Falcons picked him up for another contract.

The franchise offered him a 1-year deal worth $1,925,000 which included a $500,000 signing bonus and $500,000 guaranteed.

Buffalo Bills (2016)

At the end of his contract with the Falcons, Biermann landed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills on August 15, 2016. The deal is worth $885,000, including an average annual salary of $885,000.

However, his time with the Bills was short-lived. On September 2nd, barely a month after joining the side, a roster cut affected him and he went back to being a free agent.

Release From Buffalo Bills

Kroy left Atlanta for the first time in his career after signing a 1-year deal with the Buffalo Bills on August 15, 2016. However, after barely a month on the contract, Kroy was released from the roster on September 2, 2016, to become a free agent yet again.

The release was a result of his failure to impress the new side during the pre-season. The Bills who had signed up to 90 players cut their roster to 53 before the new season, releasing Kroy in the process. This was much to the dismay of Kroy and his reality star wife Kim who had already taken to social media to show much anticipation about the new move. A few days after Kroy signed the new contract, he bought Kim a $100,000 diamond ring to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary.

Kroy’s NFL career seems to be hanging in the balance which has led to many speculations about his marriage, finances, and career some of which have been confirmed false. When news emerged that Kroy and Kim could divorce as the family’s main source of income was no more, Kim took to social media to post sweet photos of her and her husband, automatically falsifying the rumors.

Others also speculated that Kroy was ready for retirement. To debunk the rumor, his agent Buddy Baker clearly stated that “retiring is not a consideration at this point” as the situation is only for a short time.

Highlights Of His Career Earnings
  • 2008-2011 (entry-level) – $1,879,750
  • 2012-2014 – $9,150,000
  • 2015-2015 – $1,925,000
  • 2016 – $885,000

Kroy Is Far From Being Broke

However, while being out of a job is certainly enough to worry anyone, Kroy whose net worth is estimated at $5.5 million is far from being bankrupt. An October episode of their reality show “Don’t Be Tardy” revealed Kim blowing away $25,000 at a casino. So, there’s enough to gamble with.

And if Kroy never makes it into any other NFL team again, there are many things the football star can dabble into, like becoming a sports analyst, launching a wrestling career, or TV show anchor. About the latter, there are rumors that he may join Kelly Ripa as a permanent co-host on ABC’s Live!

Kroy’s $5.5 Million Net Worth Compared To Other Players

Kroy got reasonable deals while his active days in the NFL lasted but his peak salary of $2.5 million shrinks when compared to some of the top earners in the league. Quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City Chiefs and Russell Wilson of Seatle Seahawks bag $45 million and $35.0 million as yearly salaries.

While Mahomes has a net worth of $30 million, Kroy’s net worth of $5.5 million is not such a trifling amount when compared to other current NFL players – considering his short-lived career. Kroy has not been blessed with lucrative contracts and has spent a great deal of his career as a free agent.

Meanwhile, with a base salary of $14.2 million, Kroy’s former teammate at the Buffalo Bills – Stefon Diggs, has a net worth estimated at $12.5 million. Other top earners at the Buffalo Bills include Tre’Davious White with a base salary of $8.2 million, Mitch Morse – $6.7 million, Jerry Hughes – $6.6 million, and Trent Murphy – $6.4 million.
