Bryce Watts Hansen lifted the lid on the less-seen side of being an NFL WAG in a TikTok video. Bryce admitted she 'knows the drill' with unexpected waives that often lead to relocating. 'You're a professional mover,' she joked. 'Six different states, eight different teams.'.
'I know how to get a flight [and] move all our stuff. It's kind of just like a cost that you have to eat,' She explains. 'It's just like all these little things that you can like have to play out in your head.'. In light of Chad's recent retirement, Bryce acknowledged that they 'all understand' they are blessed and in a great position while the 'money is nothing to scoff at' in the NFL. Still, she wants to 'have a conversation beyond that.'.
