With the number of charges he faces mounting, former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez appears to be growing short on cash and in danger of losing at least some of his high-priced attorneys.

According to FoxNews.com, high-profile Boston attorneys Charles Rankin and James Sultan have both filed documentation revealing to the court they may not be serving as counsel for the 24-year-old NFL vet for much longer.

Tats hold clues in Aaron Hernandez case?

After being indicted and arraigned in the 2012 drive-by, double-slaying of Safir Furtado and Daniel de Abreu earlier this month, Hernandez now faces three counts of first-degree murder and several civil lawsuits stemming from other alleged acts violence he was involved in.

Fox adds at least part of Hernandez's cash flow problems stem from the Patriots refusal to make good on a $12.5 million bonus once thought to be guaranteed to the former Florida star based on the 2012 extension he inked with the team. The $1.3 million North Attleborough home Hernandez was residing in before being taken into custody last June in the killing of one-time associate Odin Lloyd is also the subject of a restraining order that prevents him from using it as collateral in raising more funds.

In the Lloyd killing, police speculate Hernandez may have killed his one-time associate based on his knowledge of still other violent crimes he is suspected of having been involved in. He continues to be held at the Bristol County Jail without bail and confined to solitary confinement.

In requesting that the court grant Hernandez 60 days to make finicial adjustments, Fox.com adds both Rankin and Sultan further informed the court "the defendant is in the process of seeking to make financial arrangements to retain counsel."

Michael Fee, a third Boston attorney, is thought to still be continuing his ongoing workload on Hernandez's behalf.
