Finally this has been settled, they're going to pay $112million out up to $5 million per player.


This could hit $1b over the next 65 years but at least this has been settled now and there is finally closure for some of the players.

Studies have indicated that 78% of NFL players go bankrupt within 5 years of no longer playing in the NFL.  I hope there is a system in place that will make sure the monies go to those truly suffering from the concussion or neurological related issues.

I'm sure they will claim the head injuries are the reason they go bankrupt Wink
