re: NFLPA asks player agents to reconsider signing with the Saints

An UDFA doesn't have prior income from the NFL. I just got my first job so I have no prior income. My job pays me $800 a week for 2 months. After 2 months it goes to $1000 a week. If I get hurt in my 2nd week of work, my WC benefits are based off of my last 2 weeks. Now, the UDFA signed for say $250,000. It is 2 weeks into the preseason and he gets hurt. He isn't yet earning his $250,000, yet his WC is based off that $250,000. That is not fair. They aren't getting screwed one bit. This just makes them get paid like others from WC.
