“He’s got so many offers coming in from all over the world right now, he’s more in demand than any other NFL player.”

Luckily for Travis, Taylor has been helping her beau keep a rein on his purse strings, according to the source, who explained: “Taylor’s obviously been dealing with mega wealth for years, so she’s been offering him tips on how to handle the change.
“She’s not micromanaging or trying to tell him what to do with his money, but she has been offering him some guidance.”
The source continued: “He runs all his big decisions by his family, especially his brother, since they’re in a partnership.
“And Taylor’s also chiming in to give a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down…And there’s no better business brain than Taylor to help keep him grounded.”
