We're giving you money for your injuries.
But football didn't cause the injuries.
Gotcha.

That's actually pretty standard language in a lot settlements. If the NFL admitted liability it could possibly be used against them in future litigation.

This is indeed common language in most releases, however future litigants are not bound by the agreement.
So players who sue in the future can likely point to the settlement as an admission, unless otherwise barred by an evidentiary rule.
