50 years old and older. Gee, that’s an age discrimination lawsuit waiting to be filed. Those individuals will make so much money in such a lawsuit, it will be for more than they’d make working for an additional 15-20 years.

Sort of like when the NFL took the Super Bowl away from Arizona because Arizona had not made MLK’s birthday a state holiday at the same time the NFL didn’t give its own employees off for MLK’s birthday.

This appears to be something common at many places. My local school district does this from time to time. Offer a buyout to older teachers, and then hire ones fresh out of college at about 2/3 the pay. The school makes the buyout back in about 2-3 years.

There is not necessarily any discrimination going on with this plan from the NFL. You offer to buy out your high priced help. But if they stay, they stay, you don't lay them off.

The season is almost over. This is like when I fire my landscaper every fall.

I’ve had employees who only kept working because they were hoping for a buy out. That buy out could add thousands to their retirement funds.

As their boss, I was happy to help them with their buy outs. I successfully made the case for two of my people to get buy outs (it wasn’t an automatic thing).
