and $675 mil is also chicken feed to the NFL, sadly. this wasn't a great settlement at all for the players.

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.

The real sad part in all of this is had the NFL just established some kind of veteran retirement deal a long time ago, they would've never gotten to this point, nor taken the PR hit.
