Phil Costa’s professional American Football career officially began in 2010 when, after finishing undrafted, he was signed by the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent, becoming the club’s fourth string center. However, managing to impress the coach, he was quickly chosen as a primary pickup through his rookie season. After making an impressive start and a series of great performances in the 2011 preseason, Phil suffered a right knee ligament injury, and was forced off the field. However, after returning he was chosen as the Cowboys’ starting center. All these achievements provided the basis for Phil Costa’s net worth, with an annual salary of $750,000.
After recovering from back injury in 2012, Phil gave some of his best performances, setting several franchise records including for most rushing yards – 227. However, later that year, he faced a partially dislocated ankle injury and was forced to the bench for the rest of the season. These ventures made an impact on the total of Phil Costa’s net worth.
In March 2014, Phil Costa teamed up with the Indianapolis Colts, signing a two-year long, $2.75 million-worth playing contract. However, after only three games, spending barely a month with the team, he unexpectedly resigned and retired at the age of 26.
