With about 4,500 players, that's about $150k per player/family. That's pretty much chicken feed. The NFL got the better end of that deal.
and $675 mil is also chicken feed to the NFL, sadly. this wasn't a great settlement at all for the players.

Well, I guess they were looking actually having to prove that their particular injury came from football. Some are saying that this could have possibly taken years and they could have ended up with nothing. SO, I guess, both parties could say they win....or lose, depends on how you look at it.

Yeah I wonder if the NFL was threatening bankruptcy or protracted legal proceedings if the players didn't agree to this settlement.
Then again, the players are claiming cognitive disabilities, so maybe that had something to do with their decision.
