A football team and counting for Jets' Cromatie.

The wife of New York Jets Antonio Cromatie is expecting twins, bringing his soon-to-be total number of children to 12.

Just days after a public announcement that Cromatie had recently fathered his 10th child, the cornerback's wife, Terricka Cason, announced via Twitter that the couple are expecting twins in November.

Terricka Cason posted this sonogram of twins she's expecting on Twitter.

It would be the third and fourth children with Cromatie for Cason, who also has another child from a previous relationship. Cromatie has eight other children by seven other women.

On a 2010 episode of HBO's Hard Knocks, starring the Jets, Cromatie struggled to name all seven of his children at the time, and was publicly derided by the media for a lack of moral responsibility. He also needed a $500,000 advance when he signed with the Jets to cover his child support payments.

A rundown of Cromatie's 10 children. In the absence of a picture, the mother of the child is identified.

So it's surprising that he continues to father even more children without so much as a breather between each. It's understandable that Cromatie would want to have children with his wife. But after two children, maybe it was time to reconsider having more kids. Or at least hold off for a few years after reassessing his financial situation.

Cromatie signed a four-year, $32 million contract–about $8 million (pre taxes) annually–so he is more than capable of taking care of his children. For now.

At 28, playing in a league that doesn't offer guaranteed contracts, there's no surety that Cromatie will play out this contract or the next. And if he does, what financial plans has he set up to avoid the plight of hundreds of ex-players who made millions in their careers, yet are bankrupt today?

Having children is a gift not everyone is blessed with. That's clearly not Cromatie's problem. Many fathers, even mothers, have absconded from their responsibilities as parents. So far, that's also not an issue affecting Cromatie. But the list of uber wealthy athletes who've neglected their child support payments after falling on hard times (Terrell Owens, Antoine Walker, Travis Henry to name a few) includes the who's who of the sports world.

Let's hope Cromatie can avoid that after all. Ideally, he should set up trust funds for each of his children, accessible when the children become adults. But telling someone to do what's right is just one thing. Getting the person to actually do it, is another.
