re: NFL settles with former players! 765 MILLION

One of the principle terms of the settlement is that the agreement "cannot be considered, an admission by the NFL of liability, or an admission that plaintiffs' injuries were caused by football.

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.
