Sharrif Floyd estimated net worth is $2 million. The former Vikings player Floyd’s career ended in 2016 after a botched knee surgery.
Floyd settled the $180 million lawsuit against Andrews Institute for Orthopedic Surgery for an undisclosed amount. He filed another lawsuit last year for $10 million against the medical malpractice insurers.
Floyd’s coaching experience in the NFL began last year with the Cowboys. Dan Quinn’s latest move to Washington Commanders has led Sharrif to join them as their assistant defensive line coach.
Floyd has previously called Quinn a fatherly figure as the two worked together at the University of Florida. It was also reported that Sharrif hadn’t forgotten the new Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer’s comment about him in 2016.
In 2016, Zimmer was quoted saying Floyd was “kind of out of sight/out of mind” and he was “used to” Floyd being on the injury report. Two years later, in 2018, Floyd said those words were used to slander his name as a person and player.
Sharrif Floyd Net Worth 2024
Sharrif Floyd reportedly has a net worth of $2 million. The former Vikings player Sharrif Floyd began his NFL journey in 2013 but retired in 2017 after suffering a career-ending knee injury.
A Philadelphia native, Floyd was a five-star recruit out of Washington High School. In his senior year, Floyd became the no.1 ranked offensive lineman and was named a high school All-American.
He enrolled at the University of Florida in 2010, and the youngster maintained his high school success. In his junior year in 2012, Floyd recorded 31 tackles and had a team-high 8.5 tackles for a loss.
He was recognized as a first-team All-American and decided to forgo his final year of college eligibility. The Minnesota Vikings drafted him in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
The Vikings handed a four-year $8 million contract, including $4.2 million as a signing bonus. He had a promising career with the Vikings before his career ended in 2016 after dealing with a knee injury.
Sharrif Floyd Lawsuit And Settlement
In 2018, Floyd filed a $180 million lawsuit against noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews at the Andrews Institute for Orthopedic Surgery.
The lawsuit alleged that Andrews told him he had to undergo a minor arthroscopic knee surgery in September 2016. Instead, Floyd underwent a far more significant procedure at the Andrews Institute.
The Vikings placed Floyd on the non-football injury list. He filed a grievance against the Vikings in early November for the payment of the $6.7 million option in his contract for 2017.
But he dropped the lawsuit against the Vikings in 2018. The $180 million lawsuit was based on what Floyd would’ve made for a longer career as a pro football player.
Floyd settled for an undisclosed amount with the Andrews Institute. But in 2023, Floyd sued a slew of medical malpractice insurers and brokers for an alleged $10 million insurance shortfall over his career-ending knee surgery.
Floyd sued the malpractice insurers and brokers for breach of contract, alleging that only $17 million was paid out of $27 million in coverage available.
Sharrif Floyd Coaching Career
After his career suddenly ended, Floyd tried his best to distance himself from the football field. He tried working as a general contractor and also did some mansory work.
But he returned to his roots in 2017 when he joined Lorrell McCook at Ben Franklin High School. He worked as their defensive coordinator.
He returned to the University of Florida in 2021 as a student assistant and finished his college degree. In 2022, Floyd joined the Cowboys’ staff as a Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship intern during summer training camp.
He impressed the Dallas Cowboys and was offered the role of assistant defensive line/defensive quality control coach.
