For those who retired before 1993, the rate is about $2,500 a month for a player who spent seven years in the league. Brown called it “shockingly, immorally, low.”

Well that is rather low... Lots of considerations here. The average NFL career is less than four years. The Tom Bradys and Drew Brees' with careers approaching 20 years and multimillion dollar annual salaries are the exceptions. The guys on special teams, the third stringers, in short the ones you never hear of, are not making anything near that kind of money and are risking life and limb just as much as anyone else. And way back in 1993, salaries were even less for non-superstars. So yes, maybe the league should do something... since it has grown into a multibillion dollar industry.

Be gone with common sense ye!!

It’s in vogue to HATE the NFL and any player or owner past and present on this site :)

As if one watches football to learn how to act in a morally and legally responsible way.

I watch it because probably the most athletic people in the WORLD play the sport at speeds and strength once unimaginable in the league

$2500 a month is about what I get after 35 years in various prof/mgt. positions at the same company.
